PREFACE

I HE College feel that an apology ia due to the subscribers to the

Biographical Register for the delay in the issue of the second volume.

This delay is mainly due to the extension of the work beyond the limits

originally proposed. Dr Peile had intended to bring the Register to a close

at about the year 1870, but in view of the publication of the Annual List of

^ living Members of the College, past and present, with their addresses, which

<^\ appeared for the first time at the Quatercentenary Celebration in 1905, it

^ was thought advisable to continue the work down to that year : so that the

j Biographical Register and the Annual Lists together might constitute a

complete roll of all the known Members of the College from the foundation

of " God's House " to the present day. Opportunity has been taken to

correct certain inaccuracies which had occurred in Dr Peile's manuscript

of the first volume, and an index has been prepared by Mr J. A. Venn to

the entire work, which contains some ten thousand five hundred entries.

That the completion of the work was at all possible is due in the first
place to Mr J. A. Venn, of Trinity College, who, at the request of the College,
kindly undertook to complete the second volume and see it through the
press : and secondly to the wide knowledge which Mr Tithecott, our college
butler, possesses of the careers of old Members of the College. Mr J. A. Venn
has most whole-heartedly devoted himself to this work for the last two
years, and the authorities of the College feel they owe him deep thanks.
Mr Tithecott's zeal for noticing and recording any news connected with the
College has been of the greatest use to Mr Venn. But there have been other
helpers. Dr Venn, whose Biographical Register of Gonville and Gains College
was the model upon which Dr Peile based his work, has placed his great

vi PREFACE

experience at the disposal of his son. Mr G. B. Routledge, the Rev. Canon
Foster, F.S.A., and the Rev. J. E. Auden, M.A., have kindly supplied many
facts not previously known. We also owe our thanks to Mrs Baines for
communicating a pedigree of the Baines family, whose close connexion with
the College dates from 1571 to the present day. Finally, we thank many
Members of the College for their kindness in furnishing information about
their own careers or those of their friends.

BIOGRAPHICAL EEGISTEE

OF

CHRIST'S COLLEGE

It will be observed that between 1 July 1665 and 8 March 166j, there are
only three entries. The cause was the plague wliich was prevalent in August :
and on 10 Oct. the exercises in the Schools were discontinued by Grace of the
Senate. On Dec. 8 the Colleges were declared by the V.C. to be free of
infection : on March 15 it was announced that no one had died of plague at
Cambridge for six weeks, and that all who return will be received. (Cooper,
Annals, 3. 517.) But it will have been seen that many men matriculated
very late. The reason was that there was no matriculation between July
1665 and 30 March 1667. In the spring of 1666 work recommenced. Com-
mencement seems to have been held and degrees conferred. But the plague re-
turned : and on Aug. 3 Stourbridge fair was prohibited : the Colleges apparently
dispersed earlier than their wont. See note by John Covel, praelector for the
year, under Sam. Fortrey (page 8).

Heathcote, Gilbert : admitted as Hetlicot : son of Michael : boiii at Buxton.
School : Bakewell, under M' Beardmore. Admitted pensioner under M''
Stanford 11 June 1666. Age 18.

B.A. (Heathcott) 16!:^; M.A. 1673. Identified, in D.N.B., with Sir
Gilbert, Sherifi" and Lord Mayor of London, knighted 1702, one of the
founders of the Bank of England, and (in 1694) elected one of its first
Board of Directors: M.P. for Helston 1714, for New Lymington 1722, for
St Germans 1727 : baronet 173§: who died in London 1733, aged 82, and
was buried at Nornianton, Ruts., which he had bought from the Mackworths.
If his age be given rightly, he was born in 1651. The age does not exactly
correspond : and there seems to be no doubt that this Sir Gilbert was eldest
son of Gilbert of Chesterfield, alderman and thrice mayor.

Another Gilbert was admitted here [no facts about him given] in 1681 :
but he is too young.

There is another Gilbert Heathcote "M.A. of Christs" (so described in
Brady's Records of Cork, 2. 115) and said there to be son of the Parliamentary
Captain, Gilbert, and grandson of George of Brampton who was brother of
Gilbert, the alderman of Chesterfield, from whom the knightly family
descended. This Irish Gilbert was curate of Youghal 1683 : Chancellor of
Cloyne, 1685-93, when he was deprived. He married about 1680 Sarah,
daughter of Sir Ri. Kennedy of Mount Kennedy, co. Wicklow. So far,
Brady : did he take the "M.A. of Christ's" from the Graduati Ca7it. without
further enquiry ? or is he wrong about the parentage and does he assume that
Gilbert the Chancellor of Cloyne was a son of the familiar Parliamentarian
Gilbert ? If so, the rest of his account may be correct. The Gilbert of 1681
is too young to be the husband of Sarah Kennedy.

Leake, Samuel : " sesquicubitalis " : son of Edward : born at Loughborough.
School : Loughborough, under M'' Somerville. Admitted sizar to M'' Halliwell
(surety M'^ Stanford) 13 June 1666. Age 18.

B.A. 1669 Mids. Ordained deacon, Lincoln, 1668 Aug. [sic\\ priest,
York, 1671 Sept. Licensed to lecture in Ashbourne, Derbs. 20 Oct. 1671.
(The vicar of Rolleston, Notts. 12 Aug. 1682 is more probably Sam. Leake
M.A. (Joh.) 1661.) He died still lecturer of Ashbourne June 1689. For the
history of the lectureship (founded 1632) see Cox, Derbs. Churches, 2. 398:
the " able pious learned painfull and orthodox preacher " was to give two
sermons or Divinity Lectures every, week.

Knolles, John : or Knowles : son of John : born at Chester. School : Chester,
" renatum obstetricante parturientibus Musis magistro Liptrot." Admitted
sizar to M"' Burnet (surety M"' Eede) 15 June 1666. Age, nearly 17.

B.A. (Knowles) 16f^. Ordained deacon, Glos., IGif Feb. On 17 Dec.
1670 he petitioned for priest's orders within six weeks, having been chosen by
the inhabitants of Stony Stratford for their minister and being then above 24
\siG\ Ordained priest, Ely, 167f March. One John Knolles, P.C. of Bidston,
Chesh. 1674-9 (Ormerod-Helsby, 2. 469). A M"' Knowles appears as vicar of
Helpstone in the Bishop's vis". 1675 and in the Audit Book 1678-9 : gone before
1682 when Tho. Ixem is appointed. The father (John) may have been the
Socinian chaplain of the garrison at Chester who had a controversy with Sam.
Eaton the orthodox Independent of Duckenfield, and chaplain before Knolles
(Halley, 2. 85).

Goring, William : son of John : born at Kingston, Staffs. School : Repton.
Admitted pensioner under M'' Eede 18 June 1666. Age 17.

Matric". not found. Brother of Thomas (1664). Married Sarah, daughter

6 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

and coheir of Humphry Gilbert of Frodley, and had a large family, who
mostly died young or unmarried. His eldest son, Henry, bapt*. 21 July 1687,
married and had issue (Staffs. Vis'\ 1663—4, witii note at end of Vis", book).

Thompson, George : son of George, armiger : born at Lee, Kent. School :
Lee, under M"^ Watkins. Admitted fellow-commoner under M"' Eede 18 June
1666. Age 17.

Matric''. July 1667. Admitted at Lincoln's Inn 8 Aug. 1667 (as Geo.
Tompson).

*Tumer, John: son of Methusaleh : born at Cheapside, London ("ibidem
eundem salutavit patriareham prime quo potuit vagitu "). School : St Paul's,
under D' Crumbleam [Crumbleholme]. Admitted pensioner under M"' Eede
18 June 1666. Age, nearly 17.

B.A. 16f«; M.A. 1673, incorporated, Oxford, 1675. On 5 April 1670
the King recommended John Turner to be elected to the first vacancy,
whatever county it be: and he got it. He was elected before Mids. 1673,
succeeding Mich. Stanford. Ordained priest, London, 1673 Dec. Was prae-
lector for the large year 1673-4, and a careless one ; but he wrote good Latin.
His last payment was in Mich^ 1681, and he left the College considerably in
debt, probably not (as was sometimes the case) for pupils, of whom he had
none after 1675 : there is an entry in the Order-book 20 Feb. 168-1-. "Agreed
then by the Master and Fellows that M"' Turner have a year more allowed
toward the payment of his £51 [or 1 .£50] bond which if he does not pay in
that time, then we whose names are here subscribed doe promise and engage
ourselves joyntly and severally to pay it within 2 months after the time
expired, counting from the date hereof": this is signed by Tho. Lynford,
Tho. Fairmedow, Edw. Finch and John Isham : and in 168| M'' Lynford paid
£40 to the College. From the preface to some of his books, it would seem
that he was settled in London : in 1684 he describes hiaiself as Hospitaller of
S' Thomas, Southwark, and in 1698 as lecturer of Christ Church, London:
possibly he was rector of Postling, Kent 2 Feb. 168|-, presented by the
Archbishop : possibly vicar of Navestock, Essex 3 June 1689-1700 and later :
possibly rector of Benington (? Benenden near Cran brook), Kent 30 Oct. 1701 ;
presented by John Turner, gent.

Fornication with an Appendix concerning concubinage 1698 (see Cole MSS.) :

be here set down shall for brevity's sake be omitted."

Crisp, Henry : son of Henry, of London : born at Hamburg. School : St Paul's.
Admitted pensioner under M'' Eede 18 June 1666. Age 16.

Matric"*. from Magdalene 30 March 1667. Admitted at the Inner Temple
21 Nov. 1666. Possibly grandson of Sir Nicholas Crispe of Hammersmith
who built the house afterwards called La Trappe. A family of this name

1666 7

(with more than one Henry) was seated at Birchington : but I cannot
identify this one.

Monoux, Lewis : son of Humphry (doniinus) : born at Kimbley [Kiaiberley],
Norfolk. School : Stiekson [Stri.xton] " 10 miles E. of Nortliampton." Ad-
mitted fellow-commoner under D'' Widdrington 20 June 1666. Age 16.

in the army, who died and was buried at Thurleigh 1715, the last heir male of
the elder branch of the Hervey family. John Hervey of lokworth, first Earl
of Bristol, records in his diary for 1699 how he went to Thurleigh in that
year to see his cousin " Major John Hervey, a very honest ingenious gentleman "
to arrange for the purchase of the home of their common ancestors. Further
negotiations were carried on for this purpose till 1707 : but they came to
nothing. (See W. M. Harvey, Hundred of Willey, Beds. 510.) This John
Harvey left by his will, dated 5 May 1713, a messuage in the parish of
St Mary, Bedford, " being a corner house in Cawdell Street, near the Church,"
to his wife, and after her death to trustees "for the maintenance of some poor
scholar of Christ's College, to be born in Thurleigh " or, in default of such, in
Bedfordshire : see under the father (vol. i. p. 375), who left £5 a year to the
University of Cambridge : this was limited by the son to what was probably
his own College. No settlement having been made by the father's executors,
Major Harvey had paid £5 annually till 1706 : in his will seven years later he
declared his grant to be in satisfaction of his father's intention. His executors
in 1715 refused to make a settlement or to pay the arrears from 1706 : but
the heirs at-law seem to have been complaisant, and a decree was made in
Chancery that =£150 (£50 for arrears) should be paid to a Master in Chancery
and by him invested in land. Nine acres of land at Stanningfield, Suffolk
were purchased, the income to be employed by the College according to Major
Harvey's will.

According to Croston-Baines (3. 130) he did not renounce the Covenant, and
his institution did not take place till 22 Nov. 1673 : and he was twice in-
ducted, for the second time 6 Dec. 1673. He appointed a Nonconformist like
himself to the chapel of Horwich whence in later years trouble arose. He

Sym[m], John: B.A., admitted pensioner under M"^ Burnet 18 March 165g. He
was B.A. (Sidney) 1648, and brought letters testimonial. A Tho. Symm
(perhaps by error for John) appears M.A. (Christ's) 1670, in Cat. Graduatoruni,
1659-1800. One John Symm (or Symmes), clerk, was rector of Goxhill in
Holdernessll Feb. 166^^-1689: and being chaplain to Christopher, Duke of
Albemarle had license from Lambeth 21 March 165^ (" having given testi-
monials of conformity and of good life, and been examined by M''Tho. Tomkins
domestic chaplain ") to hold also the rectory of Langton near New Malton,
distant 20 miles: instituted 29 March 1670. Poulton's statement that John
Symm vacated Goxhill by death is wrong. He vacated Langton as a non-juror
1690. His successor and son-in-law, Tho. Watson (B.A. Pet. 1685) was
instituted June 14: and Mary Watson died at Langton Nov. 1693. John
Symmes was living in 1696. His wife Ursula was buried at Goxhill 12 Sept.
1668. She had three sons at a birth, who all died. (Information from Rev.
A. Hippisley Smith, vicar of Langton.)

Brother of Will. Nowell admitted 1666. I suspect that he had the Grace
of the House for B. A. 167|, though he does not occur in the Registry list. In
the College B.A. Commencement-book there ai-e two M"' Nowells B.A. one
167 J one 167f, the second is Robert, who does not appear in the Admission-
book, but is in the Univ. Registry as B.A. : the fact that the Commencement-
book has two names proves that there is not in this case (as often) a confusion
of Christian names. In the pedigree of Nowells of Capelside (Whitaker,
Whalley, 2. 113) an earlier Will. Nowell occurs as son of Chris, of Capelside
who died 1627. A brother Charles was drowned on the day of his marriage.

3S CHRIST'S COLLEGE

Turkish Spy 8 vols. 1687-93 of which he was "editor" is carefully discussed
in D.N.B. " Midgley certainly owned the copyright of the work previously
to 27 Dec. 1693, and that he acquired it, as at least joint author, is a view
in which Hallam has received vigorous support." "The chief permanent
interest of the once well known letters [the 26th edition was published in

the description of England as if by a foreigner.

42 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

Wheeldon, John : [no facts given]. Admitted sizar under M'' Smithson 12 April
1672.

Matric". not found. One Joh. Wheledon " lit[eratus] coll. Christi " was
ordained deacon, London, 1680 June: and is probably entered by error as
"John Wheel [sic] lit. Coll. Christi," priest, 1682 June. He never appears in
Study-rents : but his account of himself seems to imply some residence : perhaps
he paid nothing as being M'' Smithson's personal servant.

Dalton, Marmaduke : eldest son of William, eques auratus : born at Hauxwell,
[Haukswell], Yorks. School : Bury St Edmunds, under M'' Leedes. Admitted

Admitted pensioner under M'' Andrewes 24 April 1672. Age 16.

Marriage Licenses).

was Catharine, daughter of John Wheatley of Catsfield, Sussex. Resided till
Mich". 1674, for the last year as "Russell senior" in the Study-rents: but
Russell junior (presumably the one admitted 1673) never appears. See — Russell
(1671).

School : Kilkenny, under M"' Jones. Admitted fellow-commoner under
M-- Lovett 25 April 1672. Age 16.

Matric''. 4 July 1 672. Resided till Lady Day 1 675. Admitted at the Middle
Temple 2 Feb. 1674. Eldest son of Sir George Rawdon by his second wife
Dorothy, eldest daughter of the second Lord Convv'ay, whom he married in
1654 : the connexion with Christ's is doubtless through the mother or, rather,
her sister Anne, Lady Conwa}', More's friend. Sir George served with dis-
tinction during the Irish Rebellion, and after the Restoration ; when he built
and settled down at Moira and was very influential in Ulster till his death in
1684. Edward, the son, and his brother John both died before their father
(1684), who was succeeded by his third son, Arthur, educated at Dublin (D.N.B.
under his father).

connect with the Yorkshire branch, also largely represented here. Admitted

worth, Derbs., under M' Ogdell [Ogden], (vol. i. p. 519). Admitted pensioner
under M'' Lovett 1 May 1672. Age 17.

Not found in Study-rents. Pi-obably Samuel Dalton of Derby, admitted at
the Inner Temple 19 May 1674: Mackworth, where the "silenced" M'' Ogden
had his school, is close to Derby. John maj' have been a cadet of the Hauks-
well family, many of whom were here.

mitted pensioner under M'' Leigh 1.3 May 1672. Age not given.

under ^NP Garthwaite [a M'' Garthwaite was head-master of the school, New-
castle, before 1677]. Admitted pensioner under D' Widdrington 21 May 1672.
Age 18.

B.A. 1675. Was he nephew of the Ant. Procter (son of Anthony) of
Newcastle, admitted 16541 It is impossible to distinguish the history of this
man from that of Ant. Proctor, admitted ne.xt year : and there was a third
(of St John's) B.A. 1668. Perhaps curate of All Saints, Newcastle 1697-1703,
at latest (Brand, 1. 392). Probably one of the three was a member of
Frankland's Academy at Rathmell, admitted 7 April 1670: dead before 1698.
One was ordained priest, York, 16f^ March. One was master of Kirkby
Stephen school before 1684 and up to 1693 at least (see St John's Admission
book). One was rector of Dean, Cumberland, 1688-1705 (Whellan, 352).

deacon, York, 1677 Sept. : priest, 1679 June. Rector of Widmerpool, Notts.
18 Nov. 1680: and died before Sept. 1704. The John Roos (M.A.) who
became rector of Brant Broughton, Lines. 29 April 1689, can hardly be the
same : but I cannot find another with whom to identify him.

Burton on Trent. School : Ashby-de-la-Zouch, under M"" Shaw. Admitted

B.A. 167|- ; M.A. 1680. Son of the Master by his wife Damaris Andrewes:
his tutor was his half-brother. Elected Fellow before Xmas 1678 succeeding
Tho. Burnet. Ordained deacon and priest, Lincoln, (at Buckden) 1.5 July 1684.
Was Greek lecturer 1687 and 1688, and was at least occasionally resident : he
had one pupil in 1680 and one in 1692 : but he probably sat lightly on the
College. Senior Dean 1690. His father left him copyhold lands in Suffolk
which he enjoyed from 1688. His fellowship was declared void 27 Jan. 169^
"by reason of his having an estate," i.e. freehold lands at Southwold, Beding-
tield, Reddington and Allington, I presume after his mother's death. He
resided at Southwold, where he spent his time bemoaning his lot and com-
plaining of his relatives — other Cudworths. He died 9 Sept. 1726, leaving to
his nephew Francis Cudworth Masham, an estate of £500 a year. From
information received from J. Cudworth Whitebrook, Esq., I gather that toward
the end of his life he was of doubtful sanity.

Halifax 1 Aug. 1686. Also a Doctor Jonathan Maude of Halifax died in

winsor, brother of Azariah Pinney : not given in the Pinney pedigree in
Burke. The father was a Puritan, who accepted the Parliamentary conditions
and was appointed vicar of Broad winsor : he was ejected in 1661. A son,
Azariah, joined the Monmouth rebellion, was ransomed from personal servi-
tude, went to Nevis and became a successful sugar planter there. John
Pinney (the father) died at Bettisconibe in 1705. His son, our man, died
1679. M.I. to the two in Bettiscombe Church. (Information from the Rev.
Frank Penny.)

four years at Edinburgh University. Admitted pensioner under D'' Widdring-
ton 14 April 1673. Age not given.

Matric". not found. Perhaps uncle of Edward and Martin Hall admitted
1695^: they were of Apsley Guise, Beds. Appears as M'' Hall, i.e. a fellow-
commoner, before Lady Day 1675 : when he ceased to reside.

[in Littondale, Craven], under M'' Hargrave. Admitted sizar under M'' Bolton

M'' Andrewes 26 April 1673. Age 17.

Matric". not found. Resided till about June 1676. Admitted at the
Inner Temple 3 Oct. 1676 — unless he be the man of the same name admitted
there 4 Dec. 1673 — this one was of St Martin in the Fields. One of these I
take to be the Ri. Wynn who was Serjeant-at-law 1710, and M.P. for Boston
1708-22 : possibly he was also eldest son of Ri. Wynne, of Guisborough,
Yorks. who died 1653 and left to his eldest son Richard £700 either at the
age of 25, or when he shall have served his ajjprenticeship and be made a
freeman of the City of London : his third son John to have £100 on like
conditions (Yoi-ksh. IRWs, 9. 66). He gave £21. 10s. to the beautifying of the
Chapel in 1702.

Brunning, Benjamin : son of Benjamin : born at Ipswich. School : Wood-
bridge. Admitted sizar under M'' Lovett 2 May 1673. Age not given.

B.A. 1674' ; M.A. 1681. The father, I presume, was the Ben. Brunning,
Fellow of Jesus, who was rector of Great Waldingfield, Sutiblk (JVorir. Jieg''.),
and ejected from Ipswich in 1662 (Calamy-Palmer, 2. 428). Benjamin, the

sented by Dean Honywood to the vicarage of Edwinstowe, Notts. 5 April
1680: resigned 1682. Vicar of St Mary-le-Wigford, Lincoln, 2 May 1681:
which he ceded before 6 March 1685. After this he does not reappear in the
Lincoln diocese. I suppose that it was the father who was buried in Ipswich
parish church, with his wife and daughter, in 1688 (Clarke, Ipsivich, 305).

Stone, Kent Aug. 1681, collated by the Bishop: but perhaps of Wadham,
Oxford. (.1/. Ox. 585.)

Cudworth, Charles:

First found in the Lambeth Register 30 July 1681 where he describes him-
self as M.A. of Christ's College, [aged] over 24 years, and as being "by the
locall statutes of the College obliged to be in full Orders, petitions his Grace
for his licence or faculty whereby he may be eaabled to receive the Holy
Orders of Deacon and Priest at one and the same time from any Bishop."
The petition was granted. There is no record of any Cha. Cudworth as M.A.,
or of Christ's, still less as a Fellow, who alone could be bound in this matter
by the statutes. The simplest explanation is that this Cha. Cudworth made
a false representation. He may be a son of the Master and admitted between
Mich. 1677 and Mich. 1678 for which time the Adm. Book is blank : but he
never graduated. If he was not ordained, he cannot be the S(m of D'' Cud-
worth, of immoral life, who applied (as recorded by Bishop Sherlock) for
a prebend of Westminster, and was refused. But he is probably the Cha.
Cudworth who appears in India in 1683. This is his record. "Factory
Records, Kasinbazar III. Diary for Aug. 1683: Sunday, 19th: M"^ Cha.
Cudworth arrived from Maulda, who is ordered to reside. Diary for Feb.
168| : M'' Cha. Cudworth was married to the widow M''^ Mary Prickman,
daughter of M'' Cole deceased, and formerly wife to M'' Jonathan Prickman,
second of Maulda : the marriage was solemnised by M'' Joh. Hayes after the
manner of the Church of England. (Undated, but probably 12 Feb.) Diary
for March 168-^ : Wedne.sday 19 : M"' Cha. Cudworth, 3rd of Council, departed
this life last night about midnight, having been a long time sick of a flux."
A M'^ John Haynes (?) married his widow (J. C. W.). Presumably this
Charles is the brother of Damaris, Lady Masham, Ralph's daughter, of whom

50 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

John Locke heard at Oates, while living there with Lady Masham and to
whom he wrote 27 April 1683 (see King's Life and Correspondence of Locke,
2. 17), beginning " Tho' you are got quite to the other side of the world,
yet you ceese not to make new acquaintance here : and the character you have
left behind you makes your acquaintance to be sought after to the remotest
parts of the earth." Locke continues that he has observed Lady Masham to
speak of her brother " with more tenderness and concern than all the rest of
the world " : and as she is so good a judge he feels that her brother's friend-
ship is not the least favour she has done him. It should be noted, however,
that the name of the brother is not given by Locke : JVI"' Fox Bourne (Life of
Locke, 1. •i74) says it was written to Thomas Cudworth, " a son of the Master,"
I do not know on what evidence. He adds "' Young Cudworth was a Fellow
of Christ's College, who at the close of 1679 had obtained a seven years dis-
pensation, extended in 1686 for another seven years in order that he might
visit and reside in India." Now a Thomas Cudworth was Fellow but only
from 1685 to 1687 : he was son, not of Ralph, but of John, the girdler, of
London, Ralph's brother ; therefore cousin, not brother, to Damaris Masham :
therefore Locke's letter is certainly not to him. It is possible that Ralph
also had a son Thomas: he may have been the Thomas M.A. 1682 (whom
see, page 70) : there is evidence from the Study-i'ents that there were two
Cudworths in residence at the same time : see under Tho. Cudworth, page 64.
I have been unable to find the dispensations in the Ccd. Doin. State Papers to
which M"' Fox Bourne alludes : but whatever thej' be, they cannot alter the
facts given above. I think there can be little doubt that Locke wrote to
Charles Cudworth : Lady Masham may have had insight into the real
character of a brother, who on other evidence seems to have been quite
unsatisfactory. A Rob. Cudworth, son of Charles, was admitted in 1699 : it is
natural to guess that he was a posthumous son of this Charles : if so he was
barely 15 at admission : whereas the age given is 17 : but that proves little.

Atkinson, — : [no Christian name or facts given]. Admitted sizar under
M-- Lovett 12 Feb. 167f.

B.A. (Peter Atkinson) 167f. Ordained deacon, York, 1678 Dec. : priest,
16j^ March. Perhaps the Peter Atkinson B.A. licensed to preach at Dunsby

given.

B.A. (Crompton) 167|^. Probably the John Crompton, of Christ's, of

degree of D'' in Physic (Lambeth) 26 Nov. 1701 {Lamh. Reg''.).

(described as M.A., probably by error) was ordained deacon, Lincoln, 1679

of Belton, six miles distant, 14 Dec. 1710-1724 (Tumor's Grantham, p. 98) by
dispensation from Lambeth, on the presentation of Dame Alice Brownlow.
Author : Life of Henry More : but the life contains nothing which bears
on the life of the writer.

Iver, Elnathan : son of George : born at Brandford [Brentford], Midds. School :
Thistleworth [Isleworth], under M'' Willis. Admitted sizar under M^ Turner
9 May 1674. Age 18.

Vicar of Ditchling, Sussex 10 Aug. 1715-1721, when he died. Also vicar
of Wivelsfield 1718 till his death. Will dated 19 June 1721: apparently
unmarried, as he mentions only three sisters. Desired to be buried at the
N. W. side of the church " in the out-bounds of the rock, with as little
company and charge as possible." Died 30 July 1721, age 66. M.I. outside

Whether he was ordained late in life, or only deferred his priest's orders to the

1674. Age 16.

4—2

52 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

B.A. 1680. Ordained deacon, York, 1680 Sept. : priest, 1682 June.
I cannot connect him with the Legards of Ganton, Yorks., E.R. (pedigree
in Genealogist, N.S. 22) : but two sons of Sir John of Ganton, Thomas and
William, were admitted here April 1677.

Lancaster, Timothy : " Colonus Trinitoniensis qui plura desiderat " [no more
facts]. Admitted sizar [tutor not given] 20 May 1674.

Matric". not found, here or elsewhere. B.A. 1674 Mids., having kept his
terms before admission here. " Trinitoniensis " seems formed on the analogy
of Oxoniensis : so perhaps he was of Trin. Coll. Dublin : the last words, and
the absence of further data (which it would be natural to give, if of Trin. Coll.
Cambridge) point the same way. Possibly he was vicar of " Aykesgarth "
[Aysgarth, Yorks.], March 168| on the presentation of Trinity College,
Cambridge.

Willey, Edward: son of Edward: born at Hulme [?], Yorks. School: Danby

Bernard, Daniel: admitted as Barnard : son of Daniel : born at Burntwood [Brent-
wood], Essex. School : Brentwood, under M'' Bernard, his father. Admitted
sizar under M'' Lovett 26 May 1674. Age 17.

Matric''. (Bernard) 9 July 1674. Seems to have resided till Lady Day 1 675,

father, was licensed to teach grammar at South Weal(d), Essex in 1661.

B.A. 1678 Mids. One of these names was rector of Barton St Andrew,
Norfolk, 1689-1716 : and also vicar of Wiggenhall St Mary, till his death in
1716. (Blomefield, 4. 52, 767.) The praelector (John Turner) gives the
following incoherent account of M"' Park's entrance at (and, apparently, his
first exit from) Cambridge. " Academiam pauper adiit, sed tempore quo
diuit(is), (at end of line) haereditatem (? verb omitted) eodem animo quo
theatrum ille qui ideo venerat tantum ut exiret, nam uatus annos 21 et quod
excurrit, quod erat opinor temporis non plane nihil, saltern si anni tarn longi sunt
in Borea degentibus quam sunt miliaria, quum sizatoribus dedisset nomen
sponsore magistro Lovett, eosdera calceos itineris utriusque comites mira celeri-
tate domum repertavit." He finally declared for life in the south !

27 Sept. 1675. Age 13.

Matric''. 15 Dec. 1675: resided till Mich. 1677. Son of Sir Richard
(165^) — created a baronet by Ciiarles II in 1662 — by his wife Eliz., daughter
of Col. Chichester Fortescue ; "egregiae indolis adolescens." Died in the life-

Luck, William: son of Richard, M.D. : born at Newcastle. School: (1) New-

M'' Lynford 27 Sept. 167.5. Age not given.

Temple 23 Nov. 1677. His father, Richard, was one of the last "town's
physicians" at Newcastle, appointed 4 Nov. 1664 (Brand, 2. 363) : the next
appointment recorded is that of Henry Atherton (of Christ's) in 1682.

Morehouse, Nehemiah:

Matric''. sizar Dec. 1675: B.A. 16|f ; M.A. 1683. Born at Castleford,
W.R., Yorks., about 1657 {Norivich Register): his father, the rector, was
silenced in 1662 but afterwards conformed. (Calamy-Palmer, 2. 599.) Or-
dained deacon and priest, Norwich, 1680 June.

At this point — the last entry of the academical year 1674—5, the first
Admission book abruptly closes, though only half full. It contains nothing

1676 61

more, except at a few pages from the end a memorandum dated 12 May 1671
concerning James Everard the manciple.

For some reason, Thomas Lynford, praelector for the year 1676-7, copied
out into the new book the entries already made by D'' Widdrington in the old
one from 15 Oct. 1674 (beginning with Rob. Percevale) down to 27 Sept. 1675
(Will. Luck). Except in one case no new facts are added (but there are
some more exquisite terms in the phraseology).

This second book contains the entries from 15 Oct. 167-t to 21 June 1859.
It is less well kept than the tirst : and has numerous blank spaces for one or
even two years, where the praelector had wholly neglected his duty. The
first of these is the year 1675—6. The list of members admitted in it can be
recovered from the University matriculation and graduation lists ; but im-
perfectly : the whole number is but fifteen, which is far below the average of
the admissions at this date. It is not creditable to Lynford that he did not
take the trouble to insert the entries for the missing year 1675-6, which he
could with ease have recovered, and that he passes from Mich. 1675 to Mich.
1676 without any indication of a blank.

The entries of another year, Oct. 1677-Oct. 1678 are omitted in the
Admission book. Eleven leaves (nos. 6-16) are left blank — an unnecessary
number. Possibly there was some intention of inserting the missing entries
for Oct. 1675-Oct. 1676 in this place. As before I give the names as far as

CHRIST'S COLLEGE

recoverable from the lists of matriculations and degrees, and from the book of
Study-rents. The number for the year is only 20, viz. six matriculations
in July, nine in December, and five admissions between October and December.

Matric''. pensioner 1678 Dec. Pupil of M'' Waterhouse : in residence
before Mich*'. 1678: B.A. IGS-h There were Veales in Glos. and in Devon,
many of whom were at Oxford : but I cannot connect him with any : one
Sam. Veale (possibly his father) of Exeter, Oxford born at Iddesleigh, Devon
(incorporated at Cambridge as M. A. 1649) was vicar of St Teath, Cornwall
1661 (Al. Ox. 1540). William and Charles Veale, sons of Walter, rector of

only. (History of Christ's, 201.)

1678 to Lady Day 1680. Was he the John Woodhouse, son of Chris, of Berk-
hamsted, matric''. at Lincoln, Oxford 1676 but took no degree? If he was,
and if he migrated from Christ's to Queens', Cambridge, he would be of
sufficient standing to be the M.B. (Queens') 1681, M.D. (com. reg.) 1705, who
practised at Nottingham, where his son John was buried 1708. (Godfrey,
Bingham, 39.)

mitted ponsioncr wider M'' Lynford, [ — ] Oct. 1678. Age 16. Afterwards
fellow-coniiiioner 28 June 1681.

Matric''. 1679. ..and seems not to have resided till after Mieli". of that year.
M.A. {jm- lit. rc.g.) 168.'?. Admitted at tlio Inner Temple 22 Sept. 1681, third
son of John Short of Cranbury.

Knowsley, John : .son of John : born at Scarborough. School : Tliornton
[f Thornliin Dide, Pickiiring], Yorks., under M'' Parkes. Admitted pensioner
under W Lynford [— ] Oct. 1678. Age 16.

I?.A. 168;-; M.A. 1686. Pos.sibly grandscm of John Knowsley (161','),
Fellow, and afterwards rector of Taiisor, Northants.

Powell, Thomas: son of Hobcn-t, D. D., Chancellor of St Asaph: born at Park,
S.alop. School: ICtoii, under M'' Roswell. Admitted pensioner under M'' Lovott
4 Nov. 1678. Age 16.

I(i80, was .M. l.i-o(lier.

Bowtell, William.: son of James: born at Shalford, Essex. School: Felstead,
niider M'' Glascock. Admitted pensioner under M'' Waterliouso 6 Nov. 1678.
Age 17.

RA. 168;^.

Jackson, Robert : .son of Robert : born at Coates Hall, Derbs. School: Wakefield,
under M' Raskerville. Admitted sizar under M'' Watorhouse 20 Nov. 1678.
Age 1.'").

R.A. 168]^. Ordained deacon, York, 1684 Sept. One Rob. Jackson, R. A.,
vicar of Beighton, Derbs. 19 June 1690. Perhaps the same was rector of
Adel, Yorks. 27 Aug. 1702 : described as M.A. (but there was no Rob.
Jackson M.A. at either Cambridge or Oxford at this time). Died there 1730.
Grandfather of Di'an C3'ril Jackson.

Cudworth, Thomas :

M.A. (/)(■/• lit. rn/.) 1682. The only trace of him (apart from this record at
the llniversHy Registry) is that Tlio. Cudworth son of John, the M.A. and
Fellow of 168.'), is called M' Tlio. Cudworth jii7nor. Thomas (senior) may
have been a son of Ralph the Master. The registers of Great St Andrew's
1641-1661 are missing: and there is a blank in the Admission Book from
Mich. 1677 to Mich. 1678 : this Thomas may have been admitted during that
time, and not matriculated; and then have obtained his degree of M.A. by
maiidato before the proper time. See under Charles Cudworth, page 49.
A " M/ Cudworth " appears in the Study-rents in a perplexing way, among
Lynford's pupils. He first is " Cudworth '' only (T;ady Day 1679) about the
middle of the list: at Mich", he is'" M' C'udworlli " in the same place and rises
by degrees to the top of the list. He occurs till Lady Day 1685. He cannot be
either of the Fellows, John, Ralph's son, or Thomas, John's son : nor can he
he the Charles Cudworth who was in India 1683 and died there 1684. I con-
elude (lint he is this Thomas, possibly admitted 1677-8, fellow-commoner in
1679 and (lion.) M.A. 1682: but the history is strange: Thomas, Ralph's
.son, seems to have no claim to any special privilege.

Maye, Joseph :

Admitted at Exeter College, Oxford, 7 Dec. 1666, son of Joseph of

1678—1679 71

St Austell, Cornwall: B.A. 1G7^; M.A. (Chmt's) 16S0. Ordained deacon,

Matric"!. sizar 167|^ March. Pupil of M>' Lynford; so far as the Study-
rents show, he resided only between Mich". 1678 and Mich^ 1679. As he
was B. A. 1 6|§, he must have been admitted and kept terms elsewhere. Ordained

was owing from the King.

Ri. Backwell was admitted at the Inner Temple 17 April 1676 as "of the

him of Gray's Inn. He married but had no children : died 26 April 1731.

The " M"' Maurice " (above) was doubtless Henry Maurice, rector of
Tyringham, Bucks. 1675-9. Tyringham was acquired by John Backwell (son
of Edward by his tirst marriage to Alice Brett) who married Elizabeth, only
daughter of Sir Will, Tyringham. Edward Backwell was buried there.

and make it your endeavour that as you succeed in his place so in his repute."
Ordained deacon, Lincoln, 1688 June; priest, August. Resided in College as
Fellow for 16 vears, but seemingly not of mucli mark : was junior Dean and

By the death of his two elder brotliers, Henry and John, without issue, he
succeeded to the Baronetcy 1 July 1729 : but he did not resign Navenby : after
1730 the register is always signed by curates, of whom his sons John and
Simon were two. Married Mary, daughter of Joshua Clarke, rector of Somerby :
had five sons, Henry (admitted 1726), John (1726), Simon (1730) and two

I have been shewn by Miss E. M. Every a curious MS. commonplace book,
which belonged to John Every of Chardstock (? adm. 1648, uncle of this
Simon) ; it contains also entries by Simon to whom it passed. There is a
curious page dealing with his meals in College in Nov. 1693 of which I give
part "Friday 3rd Nov. dine in the Hall : at night noe supper. . . .Sunday 5 of Nov.
my exceed(iugs) in my Chamber. Monday 6 Nov. not anything at noone : at

held both till 173.5, when he died : perhaps of St John's, M.A. 1700. If there

Morant (1. 178) their son George (not John) was at Christ's, died 15 Ma}' 1681,
aged 17 years and 2 months; and has M.I. in Stapleford Abbotts church. It
seems likely that George is a mistake for John.

Wightman, Robert : nothing recorded except that he was admitted pensioner : it

Matthew Henry writes of him (Tong's Life of M. Henry, 279) that he was
"a very ingenious man, a florid preacher, and very serious and affectionate in
all his performances. He met with affliction in his marriage, which occasioned
some unevenness in his temper : but he was a man of true piety and integrity.
He died of a palsy in complication with other distempers. His afflictions had
broken his spirit very much." (Urwick, as above.)

Only one Heatlicote is found in the Study-rents, and he is doubtless Ralph
(admitted 8 July). See under Gilbert, admitted 1666. If dates be right,
neither can be the banker and Lord Mayor of London, Sir Gilbert, "the grave
Sir Gilbert" who "holds it for a rule that every man in want is knave or

another John Sharpe, of Christ's, was licensed to practise medicine, 1689.
Either might be the John Sharpe M.A., of Christ's, given by Cole, as chaplain

Meriton, John : son of George : born at Kirby Wiske, Yorks. School : [Kirby],
under M"' Smelt. Admitted sizar under M"' Lynford 30 June 1682. Age not

B.A. 168|-. George, the father, was a "legal and miscellaneous writer,"
1634-1711 (D.N.B.), an attorney at Northallerton, who married Mary Palliser
of Kirby Wiske : he wrote an Abridgment of the Irish Statutes and several
dialect-books, including a poem The Praise of Yorkshire Ale. " Removed
into Ireland where he was said to be made a Judge" (Ra. Thoresby, 1703).
George, elder brother of John, was admitted at St John's 1678 and died at
Cambridge 1680. John is not mentioned in his father's will 26 Sept. 1701,
and proved by a younger brother, Luke, in 1711. {Genealogist, N.S. 23. 165.)
Another John Meriton (of Caius, B.A. 168|) — perhaps a cousin — was rector
of Boughton, Norfolk, succeeding his father, Henry.

B.A. 168f. One Will. Marshall, B.A., ordained deacon, Lincoln, 1687
May, and licensed to Stamford : he may be of St John's, B.A. 1683 : a second,
B.A., ordained 1688 Sept. — described as curate of Gt Harborough, dio.
Lichfield, licensed to Kirk by Mallory, Leics. : a third, ordained 1 Sept. 1689,
licensed to Roughton, Lines.; priest 1691 Sept.; licensed to Marston. One
of these may be of St Alban Hall, Oxford, B.A. 1686. But any one of the

90 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

three might be our man : as to age, the last seems most natural. One had
license to serve the cure of Hougham with Marston, Lines. 14 June 1693.
Finally, one Will. Marshall was ordained priest, Norwich, 29 May 1697, and
described in the register as born at Lynn, and aged 24 : he was probably vicar
of East Reedham, Norfolk, 1697-170l (Blomefield, 3. 835) : but if the age be
right, he cannot be our man.

Ridley, — :

In Great St Andrew's register occurs " Ridley a scholar of Christe College,
buried July the 10th, 1682." He appears as a pupil of M'' Waterhouse in the
Study-rents for Lady Day and Mich. 1682 — in each case with no charge against
him.

Wells, William :

Matric"*. pensioner 1682 July: but never appears in Study-rents. Possibly
son of Will. Wells admitted 164§.

Hall, Henry :

Matric''. sizar 1682 Dec. It would seem likely tliat this was Hen. Hall
admitted 1679 and only now matriculated : but two men graduated as B.A. one
in 168| and one in 168|. Strangely, neither can be found in the Study-rents.
One Henry Hall, son of Henry of Poplar, Midds., gentleman, deceased, was
admitted at the Middle Temple, 19 Nov. 1680.

Littleford, Thomas :

M.A. 1688. Son of John of Baninghall [1], Salop: matric''. at Magdalen
Hall, Oxford, 16f§, aged 16 : B.A. 1673; M.A. (from Christ's) 1688. Appointed
Rhetorick Lecturer Oct. 1688, but he does not appear in the Study-rents, and
probably did not reside in College : so it is impossible to say how long he re-
mained. He signs, immediately after the Fellows in the first set of entries
in the " Scholars' Book "21 June 1689. According to Foster, Al. Ox. 918, he
was rector of Hughley, Salop, in 1686, i.e. before he came to Cambridge : and
of Quatt in 1695. Perhaps he was connected with the Wolrych family of
Dudmaston and Quatt.

From this point there is definite evidence who were scholars of the College,
supplied by the so-called "Scholars' Book": which contains the declaration
required from all beneficiaries of the College of assent to the Declaration
against Transubstantiation, drawn up by Act of Parliament Charles II, 30 :
beginning

I, A. B., do solemnly and sincerely in the presence of God, profess, testifye,
and declare, that I doe believe that in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper
there is not any Transubstantiation of Bread and Wine into the Body and
Bloud of Christ, at or after the Consecration thereof by any person whatsoever :
And that the Invocation or Adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other Saint,
and the Sacrifice of the Mass, as they are now used in the Church of Rome,
are Superstitious and Idolatrous

The book dates from Covel's time — the first signatures being aifixed on
21 June 1689 by nine existing Fellows, by Tho. Littleford (above) and by
29 scholars, and by the remaining Fellows and scholars, then existing, at
various dates down to November 1689. Each Fellow and scholar signed from
December 1689 on his admission. From this time therefore we have the names
of all scholars in their own handwriting. From 18 Nov. 1690 it is further
stated that the scholars " did take the Oathes [required from a scholar] and
subscribe the Declaration before written," and the book may properly be
called a " Scholars' Book."

The first undergraduate (according to admission at the College) who signed
is Thomas Oliver, below.

1682—1683 91

*Duckfield, Daniel: son of John: born at Buntingford. School: Stortford,
under M"' Leigh p Thomas, adm*. 1650]. Admitted pensioner under M"' Lovett
22 May 1683. Age 16.

B.A. 168#; M.A. 1690. Son of John, rector of Aspeden, near Bunting-
ford (Ison of Daniel B.A. 1604, and vicar of Childerditch) by his wife Joyce,
daughter of D"^ John Lightfoot, of Christ's and Master of Cath. Hall. Elected
Fellow, in the place of D"' Widdrington, who died 10 June 1688, very speedily,
for he signs an order 23 June, three days before Cudworth's death. Ordained
deacon, Lincoln, 1689 May. He began to take pupils in 1691 — and in 1694 he
had 69, while the other fellows had 22 among them. In 1701 (probably earlier)
he was vicar of Newton, Cambs. In his last year 1702 (when the whole number
of undergraduates had fallen considerably) he had nearly the whole College.
He died, it would seem suddenly, between 25 March and 1 May 1702, aged
only 35 — a heavy loss to the College. His dividend for Lady Day 1702 was
paid at Mich, to his administrator M'' John Baines, the College cook. His
pupils passed over chiefly to M'' Withers, but M"' Burton and M'' Sherwill also
profited.

There are six letters of Duckfield to J. Strype among the Baumgartner
Papers : see Catalogue of MSS., Univ. Lib., Cambridge, v. 147. John Lightfoot
left many of his papers, including a Concordance and sermons, also a journal
to his son-in-law John, Daniel's father : these papers John Duckfield passed
over to Strype before 1 Oct. 1679 {ib. 13). On 12 Oct. 1693 Daniel asks
Strype for a sight of some of these : — he refers also to a Targum on the
Chronicles, translated by M'' {] Sam) Clark, and asks whether it be recoverable
— or any letters between Lightfoot and Clark (ib. 47). On 10 Jan. 169f he
writes that everything but money is ready for the publication of the Targum
{ib. 17). In later letters he explains the cause of delay in returning the
journal to Strype — also certain papers which Strype desired, which on 12 June

1683 93

1697 he had just recovered and forwarded by carrier: he leaves the question
of recompense to Strype (ib. 20). Lastly on 4 Mar. 169| he thanks Strype
for the Latin edition (? that of Lensden, published at Utrecht) of his grand-
father's works (ib. 68).

Raper, Philip : son of Philip : born at Bedale, Yorks. School : Bedale, under
M"' Nicholson. Admitted sizar under M'^ Holdsworth 2 June 1683. Age 17.
B.A. (Rapier) 168|.

Ardeme, Ralph: [no facts given]. Admitted a pensioner [June 1683].

He resided as Arden till Mich. 1685 as a pupil of JM'' Lynford : then he
was transferred to M'' Holdsworth, on whose list his name appears for a year,
but without charge : probably he had gone out of residence. Perhaps son or
nephew of James Ardern (1653), D.D., and Dean of Chester, whose father
was a Ralph.

Not found in Study-rents. Sou of Benjamin, of Cornhill, London. See
pedigree in vol. i. p. 32. Admitted at the Middle Temple 23 Nov. 1683. Joined
the army, and rose to the rank of Lieut. -Colonel : serving under Marlborough.
Governor of Massachusetts 1716-27, where he was involved in continuous
disputes with the assembly : these are fully discussed in the article in D.N.B.
Shute seems to have been generallj' in the right, but unable to carry out his
view. He returned to England in 1723 and on the death of George I he was
not reappointed. Lived quietly in England till his death in 1742.

Bateson, Peter : son of Peter : bom at Knaresborough. School : Knaresborough,
under M'' Blanchard. Admitted sizar under M'' Lynford 22 Jan. 168f. Age
not given.

B.A. 168|^. According to the Norwich Register he was born about 1668
at "Bunowbigg" [Boroughbridge], Yorks., WR. Had a testimonial from
D"' Cudworth and the Fellows 7 June 1688 (three weeks before the Master's
death). Ordained deacon, Lincoln, 1688 June: licensed to Stroxton near
Grantham under Will. Parkins, rector : priest, Norwich, 1693 June. Vicar
of St Mary Magdalene, Wiggenhall, 1697 to 1720 (Blomefield, 4. 760) : rector

Fountaine, Brigge : eldest son of James : born at Sail, Norfolk. School :
St Paul's, under D' Gale. Admitted pensioner under M' Lovett 22 March
168|^. Age not given.

Perhaps resided till Mich. 1685. Son of James of the Inner Temple, and
admitted there 7 July 1685. The pedigrees of Fountaine and of Brigge
(Blomefield, 3. 522, and 4. 422) are not very clear or (perhaps) quite correct.
Apparentl}', a James Brigge {temp. Edw. VI) married a Mary Stuteville :
they had a daughter and heiress Mary Brigge of Sail who married John
Fountaine (1601—71) Serjeant-at-law : they had a son Brigge Fountaine who
married Joanna Henley and died 1661 leaving James and Andrew. James of
the Inner Temple, married Anne Slany of London (possibly akin to Griffith
Slany p. 91) and had Brigge, our man : Andrew served in three Parliaments of

1684 95

Charles II and had also a son Brigge, who died 1740 and was buried at Narford.
Brigge Fountains of Christ's seems to have lived at Sail : it does not appear
that he was married : according to Blomefield, he " died without issue at the
Poppinjay in Norwich in Apr. 1729, and left his estate to his sister Dorothy,
widow of John Repps, Esq., of Mateshall."

Powell, Richard : son of Richard : born at Bramham, Leeds. School : Leeds,
under M'' Gilbert. Admitted sizar under M' Waterhouse 12 April 1684.
Age not given.

B.A. 1G8|-. There was another Ri. Powell B.A. (Jesus) 1686: he must
be the Ri. Powell ordained at Lincoln May 1687 and afterwards rector of

rector of St Katherine Coleman, London, undertaking to retain him as reader
in that parish, provided he were ordained deacon — dated 7 March 169| : this
is certainly the B.A. of Christ's. He resigned Aunsby 2 Oct. 1694. It is
not quite easy to identify this rector and reader with Rob. Fish, B.A. of
Christ's, ordained priest, Lincoln, 1698, June, and licensed to Mulsoe, Bucks.
There was yet another who was instituted on the presentation of Sir Thomas
Bamardiston to the rectory of Great Coates near Grimsby, 18 July 1696, on

1685—1686 101

on 6 Feb. 168|. Several of Frankland's scholars went on to Cambridge,
though the earlier ones had been at Cambridge first. Collier's name does not

in 1728, when he was succeeded by his son of the same name (Blomefield, 1. 101).

(Brand, 1. 338) : he was probably one of the Shaftos of Whitworth, Durham :
and in 1684 the Master and Fellows agreed that young Leonard, though born

14 July 1698. Rector of Gateshead on Tyne 1705 : died rector 27 Aug. 1731,

subscribed the Declaration in the Scholars' Book. On 30 May 1694 he signed
the order for the presentation of M' Fairmedow to Anstey, though not (as Adam
Wall notes) on the number of the Foundation Fellows. He appears regularly
(together with Ambrose Launder) in the list of Lovett's pupils, neither being
charged : but the note in one place " M"' Finch and Launder to the Master,
£1. 15s. Od." shews that they had rooms in the Master's Lodge; Cudworth and
Covel during part at least of their tenure used to live in the " Little Lodge "
and let the rooms in the " Master's Lodging." A similar " to the Master,"
but without names, appears in earlier years. Robert Finch died in College
1696, and was buried at Great St Andrew's 16 July. He left to the College
the income of his rooms — not at the Lodge, where he had ceased to reside,
when he became a Fellow, and M"' Lovett (after some time) succeeded him.
The income was valued at £48. 10s. Od.

Thomas Echard, incumbent of one of the Barshanis. By his own statement
he was " nearly related " to D'' John Eachard, Master of St Catharine's 1675-
97. Subscribed in the Scholars' Book 21 June 1689 ("Eachard," as the elder
members of the family spelt it ; Laurence and his brother Chris, wrote
"Echard" when taking the M.A. degree). He resided at Christ's till 1696
and doubtless compiled there the material for his future literary work. Ordained,
Norwich, probably before May 1692 (when a gap in the Norwich book ends).
Beneficed in Lincoln, at Welton, near Louth, and Elkington (5 Aug. 1696), he
obtained preferment early : he was prebendary of Lincoln (Louth) 24 Apr.
1697-1730 and Archdeacon of Stowe 1712-30. He lived at Louth, where he
wrote the first of a series of books, which had extraordinary vitality. His
circumstances were very bad, according to Archbishop Wake, who exerted
himself to obtain a grant for him from the King : and George I presented him
to Sudborne and Rendlesham in Suffolk — the last by dispensation 14 Sept.
1722. His health was bad but this did not affect his work. In 1730 he was
on his way to Scarborough, but got no furtlier than Lincoln, where he died
August 16, and was buried in the church of St Mary Magdalen on the 29th.
He married (1) Jane Potter, (2) Justin Wooley of Well, Lines, but had no
children. His portrait is in the College Library.

Author: Description of Ireland, 1691 : of Flanders, 1691 : Compendium
of Geography, 1691, which went into the eighth edition in 1713 : all these when
he was oidy 20. His History of England appeared in 1707, with its con-
tinuation in 1718, and appendix in 1720. His other best known books were
the Roman History, 1698, and Ecclesiastical History, 1702 : all these went
through numerous editions and were standard text-books. Less known, but
really good, is a translation of three plays of Plautus (Amphilryo, Epidicus,
and Pudens) published in 1694, while he was still at Cambridge.

A satirical contrast of the work of Gilbert Burnet and Ijaurence Eachard
(given in Kippis, Biog. Brit. 5. 534) is amusing :

Gil's history appears to me
Political anatomy,
A case of skeletons well done,
And malefactors everyone.

Laurence proceeds another way.
And well-dressed figures does display:
His characters are all in flesh :

He wax-work make to please the sons
Whose fathers were Gil's skeletons.

Morgan, — : [no facts given]. Admitted pensioner under M'' Waterhouse — June

M.B. 1690 (John Morgan). He must have kept sufficient terms elsewhere :

matriculated at St Mary Hall, Oxford 2 March 168|, aged 18 (Al. Ux. 1030).
He did not reside at Christ's after his admission, though he took the medical

of him that " fi-om a vow or vision in the flower of his age he wore a beard to
his girdle sufficient for a Greek patriarch " : this eccentricity was noted as an
indication that John Colbatch's wits were not of the best : Bentley allows
that George was a "harmless quiet clergyman and much the better of the two."

Every : his note for the day is " then the Hon. Ma[ster] of Xst's Coll.
chooses Bold. Fellow against both the Coll. St. and y" Law of y'' realm " : the

number. Presented to Fen Drayton 26 July 1707 : this did not interfere
with his residence in College. Senior Proctor 1713. On 22 April 1713 he
was presented to Cli(iston, vacant by the death of Alex. Young : which
should have vacated his Fellowship April 1714 in the middle of his Proctor-
ship. He availed himself of his nomination to be "president "—though the

120 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

Statutes recognised no such office — to retain his Fellowship for three years.
The Master supported him on the strength of the Elizabethan Statute about
" praesides " ; every College must have a " praeses " : who shall be " vicarius "
in the Master's absence. In Oct. 1714 three of the Fellows (Moor, Husband
and Cockshutt) appealed to the V.C. who gave notice that he would hear the
appeal on Oct. 29. Perhaps it was withdrawn : in any ease, there is no decision
on the point in the " Visitor's Box," and Boldero retained his fellowship till
15 Oct. 1716, when he wrote in the Order Book his formal resignation, and
Covel wrote his acceptance of it. In 1721 Aug. 26 he had a dispensation to
hold with Clipston the rectory of Dingley, distant five miles. He married
Abigail Dickens, of Bosworth, widow, by whom he had no children. Died
22 May 1751, aged 77: M.I. in Ix worth church. His nephew, John, was
admitted 1715 and his grand-nephew, also John, 1748. Author: a sermon
on Deut. xxxiii. 29, published 1716. Probably his qualifying sermon under
the Elizabethan Statute ! However he cared for some books, for on leaving
Cambridge he purchased from the Library, under College order of 7 Dec.

Perhaps he is the autiior (Will. Dawson 1690) of some very good hexameters

Age 17.

124 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

The matriculation which seems to correspond is of Ri. (not Will.) Tailor:

but this is not supported by the Study-rents.

B.A. 169i. Admitted scholar 6 Apr. 1693. His father Thomas was vicar
of Thorverton apparently before 1677 till 1716, when he died. There is no
trace of bim, but the family lingered on : a parish clerk, Martin Sanford, was

M"' Leeds. Admitted pensioner under M'' Holdsworth 29 April 1692. Age 17.

St Peter's, and had a son Thomas (the fourth in succession of Netherhall) who
died unmarried in 1736, aged 23, the last of his line. But Thomas (no. 3) is
said to have been born in 1660 (see pedigree in J. B. Bright's History of the
Briyhts of Suffolk). Possibly that Thomas died in infancy and was followed by
another brother called Thomas, born ca. 1675 (S.H. A.H.). Died 27 Apr. 1727
and buried in Thurston church, the burial place of the family; Netherhall is
on the boundaries of Pakenham and Thurston, and called sometimes the one,
sometimes the other {ib.).

School : Morpeth, under M'' Jackson. Admitted sizar under M"' Holdsvvorth

9 June 1692. Age 15.

M-- Holdsworth 13 July 1692. Age 19.

Derbs. 29 July 1716.

King, John : [no facts given]. Admitted fellow-commoner under M"' Cudworth
13 Sept. 1692.

I do not find him in the Study-rents. The date seems inconsistent with
the supposition that he was the sou of John, first Baron Kingston (in 1660)
and of Catharine Fenton : third Baron Kingston having succeeded in 1693 his
brother Robert, second Baron : donor of £50 to the restoration of the Chapel
in 1702. See Lodge- Archdall, Peerage of Ireland, 3. 232, note. Possibly third

M'^ Leeds. Admitted sizar under M"^ Waterhouse 22 Oct. 1692. Age 16.

His name appears in Study-rents till Lady Day 1694. Perhaps he is the

Blencow, Henry : son of Christopher : born at Blencowe, Cumberland. School :

(2) Eliz. Todd of Wath, Yorks. : had tive sons and three daughters. Died 1721
(Jefferson, 1. 38.5).

Pollard, Benjamin : son of Tempest : born at Gomersall, Yorks. School : Leeds,

B.A. 1691 Admitted scholar 6 Apr. 1693. Ordained priest, York, 1698
June.

*Hobart, Thomas :

Not found before 27 March 1699 when he was admitted as Finch and Baines
Fellow on the nomination of the Eail of Nottingham, in place of M'' Lovett.
M.D. 1700. Though not in Orders he was Junior Dean and Catechist 1700.
Praelector 1702 : but had a deputy. T cannot trace him till 23 Apr. 1709
when he had leave to travel abroad for six months (probably as a private tutor)
"he paying \0s. each time for reading his course [in Chapel] and 10«. for
reading on the Festivals." He must have ti-avelled already, perhaps for
three years ; otherwise he would not have needed leave for a first journey : such
travel was a wise provision to encourage medical research. I)'' Hobart seems
to have signally abused the liberty given thereby. On 3 May 1710 he had
leave for another three months without conditions. On 24 July 1712 he had
leave to travel out of England for three years " to go along with the Duke of
Leeds grandson ]\K Cook": on 6 May 1715 this charge was prolonged for
another three years at the request of the Earl of Nottingham. On 26 Mar. 1719
he had three years more. His last leave was on 1 Nov. 1723 for tliree years.
Before 27 April 1728 his earthly travel had ended. I have met with no
similar history.

that a lease of school-lands at Nether Witton had been granted fraudulently
in 1698 to one Nich. Tiiornton. The suit was settled in 1719 by his successor
Mordecai Carey, afterwards Bishop of Clonfert. No boys were sent to
Christ's from Morpeth during Meggison's Mastership : and the supply from
the south of Northumberland which had been very considerable during the
17th centur}' passed away. It was perhaps due to the influence of Ralph
Widdrington.

169f. Elected Fellow 1 May 1702 on the death of Dan. Ducktield. Ordained
deacon, Ely, 170| Feb.: priest, Lincoln, 170f March. Junior Dean, Catechist
and Bunting Preacher, 1704. Praelector 1705. From the beginning of 1709
to Oct. 1710, he attended no meeting and was perhaps non-resident; for the
next three years he appears, but was elected to no office. Senior Dean 1713 :
again Jan. 171f in place of M'' Moor: again in 1721. Taxor 1708. Senior
Proctor 1718. His fellowship was declared vacant by the Master in Oct. 1714,
because he had inherited from his father an estate at Gaywood near Lynn.
He declared that his father's debts exceeded the value of the inheritance : and
refused to answer further questions. Covel ejected him : but the V.O., Jolm
Green of Corpus " a man of liberal sentiments beyond the age in which lie
lived " (Masters, 249), reinstated him on appeal. Feeling in the College (as in
the University) was divided by politics both public and domestic. Towers was
a zealous Whig : also a supporter of D'' Bentley, while the Master was of
Gooch's side. Towers, as Proctor in October 1718 on the day when Bentley
was suspended from his degrees, challenged D'' Gooch to point out the law or
statute on which the proposed grace was founded : and in liis address to the
Senate he publicly criticised the Heads for the degradation. On Covel's
death. Towers, who was Senior Fellow, was elected in Jan. 172|, not without
opposition : four of the Fellows (headed by Ra. Aynsley) waited on the V.C.
(as Visitor) and asked him to interfere as the election was made not according
to Statute : but nothing followed : an opinion of one Ja. Johnson that the
vote of a Fellow for himself as Master (if such vote completes a statutable
majority) is valid, is in our Muniment-room and seemingly in Towers' hand-
writing : I infer that he had voted for himself and then strengthened himself
with a legal opinion. Political feeling kept him long out of the Vice-Chancel-
lorship : in 1733 he was defeated : in 1734 he was nominated, and thanks to
Bentley, who as Regius Professor struck out his most formidable opponent,
was elected. (See Gunning, Ceremonies;, 46, note.) Nothing memorable occurred
during his tenure of office. In College there was much disputation during his
Mastership, chiefly concerning Fellowships : it is noteworthy that he declared
vacant the Fellowship of Hen. Finch in 1736 on grounds similar to those on
which Covel had declared his own — and with equal lack of success : see under
Finch (1712). Cole charges him with "love of squabbles and Law" and
" wrong-headedness " but admits that he was " esteemed to be an honest and
well-meaning man " — which is much for Cole when speaking of a Whig. He
had the rare virtue for that time of not being a self-seeker : Cole says that he
lost the office of King's Chaplain by a " peculiar unaccountableness of manner "
in taking no notice of the offer : and adds that he also gave awa}' his chance
of a Bishopric, to which his services entitled him ("he having always behaved
himself steadily in the Hanover interest, and that at a juncture when it was
most wanted"), by "his morose, sour and rough manner." Perhaps "unsociable"
might be substituted for Cole's epithets : it suits his further account : " those
best acquainted with him, which were but few, he living much by himself,
gave him the character of a very facetious and pleasant companion, that he
was a good historian, and that there was hardly a gentleman's family in England
he did not know the private history of, and hardly a village in the kingdom
which he could not describe; making it his constant practice to travel privately
about in the summer, and was never better pleased than when unknown and
unobserved." He commenced a full and very good account of the College
properties : but did not get on far with it. He followed D'' Covel in one

138 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

point : he appointed " a President " during his absence, under seal. He died
1 March 1745 at four in the morning of a violent fever (Cole). Buried in
the Chapel 6 March, near Covel, without any memorial.

election (at which he had the support of Dean Ullock and others) in 1702 the
votes were evenly divided between him and Will. Burrell (see below) : Matt.
Baines who seems to have been at Tonbridge came up to give his vote, which
he had promised some time before, for Burvill : this would have given him the
necessary majority. But Baines was induced to absent himself from the meeting
— -according to Burvill and five of his supporters, including John Boldero —
because Withers threatened him that his father the cook should be ruined
and all his kindred. Covel's name — he voted for Burrell — is not mentioned by
the five. There being no election, the matter went to the V.O. D'' Richardson,
who nominated Burrell : and Burrell was duly elected. Burvill was ordained

1704 Sept. : priest, 1706 June. Vicar of Hunslet, Leeds, 1718-173^ 13 Jan.,

18 April 1723 : allowed leave of absence 25 Oct. 1726 : gone in 1732. Buried
at Hunslet : M.I. in old church (now demolished). Often referred to in
Thoresby's Diary : Thoresby, though a nonconformist, often went to hear him
preach 1720-3, and thought highly of him. Author of The whole duty of
Prayer, from the evidence of Reason and Revelation, with prayers for Evening
and Morning, 1730, Leeds. (W. B. Paley, Esq.) The connexion of this man
with the John Paley, supposed to be the first of LangclifFe, who had sons
Thomas b. 1675 and William b. 1680 (admitted here 16 June of this same
year) is not clear. Possibly John (the father) and the original William were
brothers.

Shaw, Thomas: son of John: born at Colchester. School: Brentwood. Ad-
mitted pensioner under M"' Waterhouse 30 Mar. 1698. Age 16.

LL.B. 1703. Admitted scholar 21 Feb. 169|. A John Shaw of St Ann's,
Colchester married about 1677 Anne, daughter of Tho. Broom, Serjeant-at-law,

man: on John's death the family estate was sold (Morant, 1. 118). One
Tho. Shaw was vicar of Wyberton, Lines. 17 Oct. 1712, patron, John Shaw

*Aynsley, Ralph : son of Mark : born at Gallowshill [in parish of. Bolam],

B.A. 170^; M.A. 1705. Signed first Aynsley : then regularly Anesley.
Admitted scholar 21 Feb. 169f. Ordained deacon, London, 1702 May.
Elected Fellow 27 June 1704, succeeding Hen. Cook. Junior Dean, Cateohist
and Bunting Preacher 1708. Praelector 1708. Steward 1709. Senior Dean
1715, 1722. Scrutator for the University 1715. Had a very few pupils —
the last in 1711. Presented to Hapton 4 July 1717 : to Gately 9 Apr. 1718
(succeeding Rob. Withers who died there) : resigned it before 29 April 1724 :
the value being small he retained his Fellowship with it (it was afterwards
augmented by a beneficial lease of the rectory) : probably he did not reside.
On 25 Jan. 172| he was nominated together with Tho. Husband for Lord
Berkeley's usual selection for the rectory of Kegworth : but Lord Berkeley
chose M"' Husband. On 27 Mar. 1724 he was presented to Ingoldsby, vacant
by the death of Ri. Ward — the first presentation made by the College : his
fellowship was declared vacant 17 Jan. 172|. Died at Ingoldsby and buried
there 3 Jan. 17^^.

Aynsley was doubtless a Tory and politically, perhaps personally, hostile
to Towers. It was he and Boldero who induced Covel to declare Towers'
fellowship vacant in 1714, and probably he was the Fellow who ran Towers
hard for the Mastership in 172|. He was one of the four Fellows who
desired the V.C. to enquire into the circumstances of that election. Probably
he was not unwilling to get away from the College after 20 years of residence
in 1724. He seems not to have remained for his "year of grace."

Keate, William : son of James : born at Char(d)stock, Dorset. School : Chard.
Admitted sizar under M'' Duckfield 25 June 1698. Age 18: but (as the

B.A. 170i. Admitted scholar 21 Feb. 169|. James Keate was of Wadham
and Exeter and vicar of Chardstock 1669. The praelector's suspicion as to
William's age makes it unlikely that he was the Rev. Sir Will. Keate, Bart.,
who died at Digswell, near Welwyn 6 Feb. 1757 aged 72 {Gent. Mag. p. 142) —
who would have been only 13 in 1698.

1698. Age 18.

B.A. (Whichcott Greggs) at Pembroke, 1705. The perversion of his

at the time the only) pupil of M"' Lovett, to whom the cook remained faithful :
Baines kept in the Master's lodging, with his tutor (who also had rooms there)
till at least Mich". 1706 : the usual entry in the list of Fellows and their
pupils being " M"' Baines (the cook) for his son." Ordained deacon, London,
1706 Sept.: priest, 1708 Sept. : licensed to Lynn Regis. In 1718 he became

144 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

B.A. 170| ; M.A. 1706. Admitted scholar 21 Feb. 169f. John, the father,
who married Susanna Bodendick, was rector of Wallington. Barrister at
law : proprietor of an estate at Barnwell, Oarabs. where he lived and died.
Six feet four inches in height and very eccentric. Married Rose, daughter of
— Clerk, rector of Somerby. He erected in Barnwell Church three tablets to
his ancestors and three more autobiographical, leaving the dates of the death
of himself and iiis wife to be filled in. These three are printed at length in
Cooi)er's Annals, 4. 336-9, and are curious, but too long to give here. They
describe his " invariable steadiness in the cause of Liberty, which would have
entitled him to rewards in any age or country where Virtue was not a
crime and Corruption the safest path to Honour." His virtue was chiefly
shewn in fighting with the Corporation. Once (in 1754) he offered himself as
a candidate for Parliament, but without success : but entitled himself justly
to the name of the Old Briton. His labours in the cause of freedom were
many. He fought a M' Sindrey an alderman of the town who (like Ahab
king of Israel) wanted his neighbour's propei'ty on which to erect a dog-kennel ;
here M'' Butler was successful in his action. Edward Gillam, a farmer of
Cambridge, would plough 30 acres of the Lammas land south of Cambridge :
whereby " all the sheep were damaged in their feed much more in their
winter layer " : hence another successful action. He ended his life 28 May
1765 aged 84, and Rose Butler 5 May 1778 aged 87 : they were both buried
in the same grave made by him on the south side of the chancel.

B.A. 170|; M.A. 1709. Admitted scholar 19 Feb. 170f. His father was
admitted 1674. Ordained deacon, London, 170-^ Feb. : priest, Lincoln, 1709
Sept. ; curate of Southoe with Hailweston, Hunts. Elected King Edw''. Fellow
19 Oct. 1710, in place of Sam. Bourne. Junior Dean, Catechist and Bunting
Preacher 1713. Praelector and Steward 1714. Senior Dean 1718, 1723, 1730.
Scrutator in the Univy. 1729. Took pupils from 1714 onwards, and soon had
more than Boldero, the leading tutor: after Boldero left in 1716 he had six
times as many as any one else: he retained the first place easily till 1728 when
Cartwright drew up to him : but for five years more he had a diminishing
number. He seems to have relieved Covel of the College business for some
years before his death : in Sept. 1722 the accounts were " put off till M'' Ather-
ton comes to College." Probably he was not on good terras with D'' Towers,
against whose election he protested but he still remained in College, though
presented 15 Sept. 1723 to Hapten, and on 24 April 1724 to Gately which he
held till 1732. On 11 May 1732 he was the first College nominee to Little
Canfleld, Essex : and he vacated his Fellowship 4 June 1733. He did not
occupy the rectory house at Canfield, which was tenanted by a farmer. He
died there 14 June 1749 aged 64 : his tombstone in the nave, just west of the
chancel, calls him "a learned and pious divine" : but I have not found that
he published even an assize sermon. His knowledge of the College history as
well as of the accounts is attested by his "statute book" to which he sufiixed
a good deal of interesting matter. In 1720, two years before Covel's death, a
real balance in the College accounts, with the surplus from the last Audit
carried over, appears for the first time : and the credit must be assigned to
Atherton. He was a subscriber to Ford's Articidi 1720 (J.E.B.M.) and to
Sanderson's Algebra 1740.

Kingsbury, Robert : son of Robert : born at Middleton, Essex. School : Yeldham,
under M"' Brooks. Admitted sizar under M'' Burton 6 July 1702. Age 19.

The rector of Middleton 1670-1700 was Roger Middleton: possibly the
admission-book gives the father's name wrongly. The son, Robert, resided till
Lady Day 170f, and his name occurs without charge for two quarters more : he
was ordained deacon, Norwich, 1707 June, as B.A. : but not so in Gat. Grad.

dead.

Charleton, Thomas : [father not given] : born in London. Admitted sizar under
M'' Burton 29 Aug. 1702. Age not given.

Appears in the list of M' Burton's pupils Mich. 1703 — but with no charge
against him. Perhaps never resided. It is not unlikely that he was a son of
Tho. Charleton of Chilwell, Notts., and grandson of Tho. Charleton, admitted
16.36, afterwards Sheriff of Notts. If so, he died in 1703.

Ingram, Edward Machell, Viscount Irwin: son of Arthur, Viscount Irwin "quae

Yorks. (1657—1723) and of Anne, daughter and heiress of Tho. Kent of Povey,

Fellow of Corpus) : he inherited Povey by his grandfather's will. Admitted

30 Nov. 1714. Held no office (though he resided regularly) till Oct. 1719
when he was Praelector, Junior Dean, Catechist, Bunting Preacher, and
Steward. Held nothing more till 1726 when he was Senior Dean: Mildmay
Preacher 1727. He was Junior Proctor 1727-8. From 1715 he had one or
two pupils — at no time more than three. On 12 Sept. 1725 he had a lease of
the tithes of Haptou : but continued to reside : resigned early in 1727. There
were " exceedings " in Hall 12 May 1727 "when M' Sitwell dined there":
the reason is not obvious as he attended several meetings in that j'ear : per-
haps it was known that he intended to be a benefactor. On 13 Nov. 1731 he
was presented to Caldecot, succeeding Tho. Wilkinson. After the end of
1733 he was rarely present at a meeting, and perhaps resided at Caldecot.
He died early in 1737 and was buried in the ante-chapel (Adam Wall). He
left £20 for the poor of Caldecot ; and to the College he left the income of
his chamber and £600 for the augmentation of the Mastership and Fellowships :
the interest was divided annually as " M'' Sitwell's benefaction." It was
invested in South Sea Annuities. In 1854 the capital was sold out, and
£660 2 "/o Consols were bought. In 1856 these were in turn sold — and the
proceeds invested in the purchase of the Harvey Charity estate at Meldreth.

1715. Had dispensation from Lambeth to hold also the vicarage of Market
Weighton, Yorks. 17 Apr. 1719: for this he had license of non- residence

mathematician of Bradford, who died 1742, aged 91, to whom Jonas Water-
house of Bradford left by will (1715) all his books and mss.

Mildmay Preacher 1718. Nominated as Scrutator 29 Aug. 1720. On 9 April
1718 he took the lease of Hapten which Aynsley resigned : he may possibly
have resided there, to perform the duties of the cure, for he signs the orders
afterwards very intermittently : in any case he must have returned to Cam-
bridge for the post of Scrutator 1720-1, and on 17 April 1721 he became
rector of Hard wick. On Covel's death Aynsley and Husband were nomi-
nated to the Earl of Berkeley for the rectory of Kegworth, and the Earl
selected Husband; and he was presented 15 March 172|. He died rector
before May 1725. In college he seems to have joined Towers in opposition to
D'' Covel : and supjjorted him in the struggle for Toft between Towers and
Metcalfe, when the latter was taken : on the curious ground that the Senior
Fellow ought to have it in order to be able to cope with the Master.

Martin, Wormly :

In residence as a pupil of M'' Baynes from Mich". 1705. Matric''. sizar
170|. Admitted scholar 5 Mar. 1704'. Perhaps a son of Wormly Martin,
rector of Colveston, Norf. 1676-85. Ordained deacon, Norwich, 1709 Oct.:
licensed to South Repps as curate to his father, Wormley (B.A. (Jesus)
1667). The father waged a long battle with Corpus and Pemb. Hall for a
fellowship — varying from one to the other — backed up by a mandamus from the
King. The evidence (from Oaf. Dom. Papers) is summarised in Cooper,
{Aniials, 5. 451-5) and is entertaining. Martin failed at both Colleges.
Wormley, junior, had dispensation from Lambeth 11 July 1716 to succeed

1705—1706 163

his father (deprived) as rector of South Repps : held it till 175G (Blomefield,
4. 340). On the other hand his gravestone in South llepps chancel makes him
rector for 45 years, i.e. till his death : if so he held it with Beeston. According
to Rye (Cromer, 136) he was also curate of Cromer 1723-9, and again 1743.
Rector of Beeston 1756-62 (Blomefield, 4. 293). Another Wormly Martin
(?his son) (B.A. (Corpus) 1758) was also rector of South Repps, probably also
vicar of Shipden (Cromer) 1763-8, patron, the Bishop : he died 20 May 1768
(Rye, ib.). A fourth (his son) (B.A. (Caius) 1790) was buried there 1804,
aged 38.

and last. Earl of Radnor (succeeding Sir Henry) 1741-1757 July 15, when
he died unmarried (1764 in Burke, Ext. Bar.). Either he, or his father, built
Radnor House on the Thames, next door to Pope's house : and he is said to
be the " heavy lord," satirised in the fourth Diinciad as the type of hanger-
on to wits ; and also as the subject of Pope's epigram beginning " My lord
complains that Pope, stark mad with gardens | Has lopped three trees, the
value of three-farthings." The house is now the property of the parish ; and
the Twickenham Literary Society meets there. [F. C. Hodgson.]

place of the Master, resigning the Haptou lease, 12 Nov. 1724. Presented to
Kegworth 1 July 1725 — the Lord Berkeley "recommending" (Coll. Order)
him instead of Tho. Atherton. Married Mary, daughter of Tho. Twisleton,
rector of Weddington [? Wennington], Essex, son of Philip Twisleton of Drax
Abbey, whose brother John of Horstman Place was admitted 1632. Died

Age 17.

Brother of Wentworth (1702). Admitted scholar 5 Mar. 170f Resided,

Muskett (1. 192), according to whom he was born 1687.

Blanshard, William : son of Richard : born at Akam p Acomb, Yorks.].
School : " Akam," under M'' Tomlinson. Admitted sizar under M'' Withers
27 May 1706. Age 17.

B.A. 17f^. Admitted scholar 7 Mar. 170f. Son of Richard (1674) of
the Inner Temple. Ordained deacon, York, 1710 Sept. : priest 1711 Dec.
Lecturer in the parish church Leeds 14 July 1716.

B.A. 17f|. Admitted scholar 5 Mar. 170|-. Ordained priest, London,
1715 Sept. Vicar of Bolam, Northumb''. 1722-70. There are "curious
memoranda : medical and historical " written by him in the parish register.
(Hodgson, II. i. 341.) Died 27 April 1770, aged 82.

Dunn, John: [father not given]. Of Yorks. Admitted fellow-commoner under
M"' Sherwill 4 June 1706. Age not given.

His name appears in the list of M'' Sherwill's pupils each quarter till
Lady Day 1708. But each time there is either no charge again.st him or the
charge is put in and then struck out. Another [?] M'' Dunn {i.e. fellow-
commoner) also in Sherwill's list, appears at Mids'. 1 709 till Lady Day 1710: for
the first two quarters there is no charge against him : in the last quarters the
name itself is struck out. There is no corresponding entry in the Admission book
for 1 709 — which seems complete. It is certain that there was a Joshua Dunn,
fellow-commoner at Christ's about this time (1707, according to the Memoir
of Sanderson), who brought with him as his friend Nicholas Sanderson, the
mathematician and future Lucasian Professor (see Life of Sanderson in D.N.B. :
and Hunter, F.M.G. 1. 2.t0). If the date of Sanderson's coming to Cambridge
be rightly given (1707) it seems to follow that the name in the very imperfect
entry of 4 June 1706 is given wrongly as John, and that it should be Joshua,
and that all the entries in the Study-rents refer to one man. Joshua Dunn,
according to Hunter, was son of Joshua, mercer, of Halifax and Attercliffe,
born 28 Sept. 1684 at Stannery, near Halifax : died 13 Sept. 1709 — this suits
the entries in the Study-rents — and buried in the chancel of Halifax Church:
M.I. His father was buried at Attercliffe 1718 : his mother was Mary Clarke
(Hunter, 4. 1274).

French, Robert : sou of John : born at Chilton, Suflfolk. School : Sudbury,
under M"' Maybourn. Admitted sizar under M'' Burrell, — June 1706.
Age 20.

No degree given in Cat. Grad.: but ordained (as B. A.— born in Suffolk
1687) deacon, Ely, 1712 June.

Sorrel(l), Henry : son of Henry : born at Cavenham, Suffolk. School : St Paul's,
under M'' Postlethwaite. Admitted pensioner under the Master 24 June 1706.

Licensed to preach in the church of Bolton on Dearue 1728.

Say, Francis : son of Francis : born at East Hatley, Cambs. School : Rusling-
worth [?], Beds. Admitted sizar [tutor not given] 4 July 1706. Age 17.

B.A. ni{. He kept from Mich'. 1708 "in the Masters "—therefore his
name is not given in the Study-rents — in "the next chamber" to that which
is called " by the Parlour " — presumably the present passage room next to
the Chapel: and resided till Mich^ 1712. Born 9 June 1690, eldest son of
Francis Say (B.A. (Jesus) IGBf) and of Eliz. his wife — elder brother of Will.
Cray Say (171|). Another brother, John, was godson of D'' Covel, the Master.
Admitted scholar .5 Mar. ITOS. Ordained deacon, London, 1713 May: priest,
Norwich, 1719 July : licensed to Guiest (Guist, St Andrew), Norfolk. Vicar
of Berney (Barney), Norfolk 1720-40 (Blomefield, 5. 790) : also of Hindol-
veston 1721-40 (ib. 4. 401), when he died. According to family tradition
he was rector of East Hatley before going to Hindolveston : which seems
hardly probable. Not the Fra. Say, Librarian to Queen Caroline, Secretary to
five Bishops of Ely, who died 1748 {Gent. Mag. p. 427) : probably he was of
Trinity (B.A. 171-i).

Gregory, Thomas : son of Love-is-God : born at Stivichall, Warw. School :
Coventry, under M'' Greenway. Admitted pensioner [no tutor given] 4 July
1706. Age 19.

Admitted scholar 5 Mar. 170f. A pupil of M'' Burrell: resided till Mich'.
1708. His mother was Oath. Turvile of Higham, Leics. The Gregorys

owned land : they are said to have boasted that they came in with the Saxons
and settled at " Stickhill " ; a branch removed to Yorks. and settled at
Barnby Don (Hunter, S. Yorks. 1. 211). One Tho. Gregory was vicar of
Hindolveston, Norfolk 1740-1 ; patron, the Dean of Norwich : vicar of Elm-
ham 1741. (Blomefield, 4. 401 ; 5. 1000.)

Ann, daughter of John Wilson of Wortley : succeeded his father and married
Christiana, daughter of Ben. Ashton of Hathersage and had three sons, John,
Benjamin and William, who all died without issue. Died 30 Jan. 1756
aged 65, and buried at Cawthorne. (Hunter, <S^. Yorks. 2. 232 : the dates are
wrong by two years, but the identity seems clear.) One of these names a
conf rater of Brown's Hospital, Stamford. {Merch'. Taylors' Register, 2. 192.)

Daniel, Robert : migrated from Corpus Christi. Admitted pensioner under
M'' Sherwill 1 Oct. 1706. Age not given.

In the list of Sherwill's pupils till Mich''. 1707 — but never any charge.

Will. Burrell, the praelector Oct. 1706-Oct. 1707, makes this one (in-

Banister (1694). Admitted under M"' Aynsley before June 1707. Matric''.
fellow-commoner 1707 Dec. Kept "in the Master's over the parlour" paying
therefore £1. 10s. each quarter, up to Mids''. 1716: but the room remains
assigned to him (without charge) up to Lady Day 1721. He succeeded in the
title two elder brothers, Henry (third son of the third Baron) and Grey (seventh
son), as sixth Baron Maynard in 1745. In 1766 he was created Viscount
Maynard : and he died 1775, unmarried, aged 85. By his will dated
13 February 1775 he left £500 "for or toward the cost of erecting or beauti-
fying any publick building for the University of Cambridge that shall not be
begun at the time of my decease, or for the use of the Public Physick Garden
there." He gave earlier £100 to the Botanic Gardens. This sum with the
accumulated interest amounted in 1788 to X745. 18«. id. : which was paid by
the trustees of the will to the Vice-Chancellor to be used toward the erec-
tion of the proposed University Offices in Senate House Yard. That scheme
having been abandoned, the money was returned to the trustees and reinvested.
In 1807, when the amount was £2163. 9s. Qd. it was assigned by Grace to the
Botanic Gai'den, so as to carry out the second alternative object of the testator.

and migrated to the Inner Temple 26 Nov. 1713. The vicar (of these names)
of Scarcliffe, Derbs. 1724-69, son of Sara., rector of Eckington was probably

son and heir of Thomas, mercer, of Lombard Street, who was admitted at the
Middle Temple 27 Oct. 1709. Author: A treatise on the Urinary passages, 4'°.
1726. (D.N.B.)

Washington, Laurence :

B.A. 171f Admitted under M-- Burrell before Dec. 1707. Matric*.
pensioner 1707 Dec. Admitted scholar 11 Mar. 170|. Resided till Lady Day
1712, perhaps during the next quarter. Ordained priest, York, 1718 Sept.
Perhaps of the family, originally of Warton, Lanes., afterwards settled at
Sulgrave, Noithants., from which the American Washingtons were descended :
the name Laurence occurs in it frequently : see pedigree in Croston-Baines,
5. 520.

Cawson, John :

M.B. 1712. First appears at Christ's as pupil of M'' Moor at Xmas, 1708,
and as "M"'" Cawson at Mids'. 1712.

Sanderson, Nicholas :

M.A. (per lit. reg.) 1712; LL.D. (com. reg.) 1728; F.R.S. Born Jan. 1682
(bapt. 20 Jan.) at Thurlston near Penistone, Yorks., son of John Sanderson,
exciseman. Lost his eyes by smallpox when one year old. Educated at Penistone
by M'' Staniforth in Latin and Greek ; afterwards by his father and by himself
in mathematics : in later life he could repeat all Horace's Odes and much other
Latin poetry : his father and friends supported him till he was 25. Came
to Cambridge in 1707 as friend of Joshua Dunn then fellow-commoner at
Christ's : see Dunn, John (! Joshua), 1706. Not admitted at the College, but
allowed rooms there : perhaps Dunn's, who seems to have resided irregularly.
Made friends through his keenness for mathematics — especially as expounded
by Newton — and through his blindness. Will. Whiston, Lucasian Professor,
allowed him to lecture in his own subjects: his lectures seem to have been very
popular. In the dedication (1740) of his Algebra to John Robartes (170|)
afterwards Earl of Radnor, it is said " Your Lordship was his first acquaint-
ance in the University and his first scholar, and. ..his most generous benefactor:
a great part of the work was drawn up originally for your Lordships use, and
was for many years in your sole ])OSsession." When Whiston was removed
from his Professorship (30 Oct. 1710) for his Ariau proclivities, Sanderson
seems to have been regarded as his obvious successor : but he lacked the M.A.
degree. The Heads of Colleges, and the Hon. Francis Robartes (1663) father
of John Robartes are said in the Alemoir (p. vi) to have applied to the Chan-
cellor for a mandate-degree for him : which was issued by the Queen : he
became M.A. 19 Nov. 1711, and Lucasian Professor the next day! His
inaugural lecture was in " truly Ciceronian " Latin. His position as an early
"Newtonian" is attested by D'' Heberden, writing of what he remembered
about 1730, " Newton Euclid and Algebra were only known to those who chose
to attend tiie lectures of Pr'of. Sanderson, for the College lecturers were silent
on them." [Schol. Acad. 66.) He lived in College till 1723 devoting his whole
time to his lectures and his pupils. In that year he took a house in Cambridge
and married Abigail, daughter of Will. Dickons, rector of Boxsvorth: by whom
he had children, John (1742) and Anne. He continued his teaching to the
detriment of his health : " being too sedentary and constantl}' confining him-
self to the house, he became a valetudinarian of a very scorbutic habit " and
died 19 Apr. 1739 " of a mortification in his foot." Buried at Boxworth: M.I.
Portrait by Vanderbanck (painted 1718) in the University Library. He had
prepared his Algebra for the Press before his death : and it was published in
1740 by ills widdw and children. The Method of Fluxions appeared in 1751.
It is said (see Ball, History of Mathematics, 87) that owing to his outspokenness

1707—1708 169

he was " better qualified to inspire admiration than to make or retain friends."
Among the friends who contributed to the Memoir prefixed to his Algebra,
were John Boldero and Gervase Wheler of Christ's. Many other members of
the College were among the subscribers to tiie book ; also the libraries of
almost every college in Cambridge, except (oddly) Christ's. (D.N.B.) His
son John (1742) was B.A. at Christ's, afterwards Fellow of Poterhouse.
*Edwards, William :

B.A. (St John's) 171 J; M.A. 1714; D.D. (Christ's) 1728 {com. reg.). Son of
George Edwards, currier, of Barnard Castle : educated at Sedbergh. Admitted
sizar at St John's under M' Anstey 28 June 1707, aged 17. {St John's Admis-
sions.) Admitted Fellow 2G Feb. 17 1^, in succession to John Moor, by the
authority of the Visitor, Tho. Sherlock, V.C., who with the assent of one of his
assessors declared void the election of Ja. Dodgson (whom see, page 174). In
1720 he was Praelector (a careless one). Junior Dean, Catechist and Bunting
Preacher. He signs last in May 1726 and on 14 Jan. 172^ Edmund Law
was elected to his vacant Fellowship : but the declaration of the vacancy is

tlie last office, and I find his signature only once more (in 1724) : he was
private chaplain to the Duke of Somerset — and, as such, was probably subject
to the " detentio violenta " which according to an interpretation of the Statute
prevented residence : his pupils — he had a few — cease at the same date. In

Duke Street, Westminster 18 March 1758 having held his final preferment less
than one year : buried in Lambeth church. He seems hardly to have been a
great man, tiiough so highly placed : he is said to have been " ciieerful and
amiable " and he "never let himself down below the dignity of an archbishop."

1710—1711 177

In opinions he was supposed to be latitudinarian (D.N.B.). He married in
173| Mary Lutman of Petworth: by whom he had two daughtei-s (Hasted says,
sons). Two nephews (sons of his elder brother John of Marske) were at
Christ's, viz. John (1747) and James (1756) : and two grandiiephews, sons of
John the third, John (1791) and Timothy (1796) benefactors to the Library. He
left at his death £50,000 "amassed in 12 years out of the Church " — according
to E. Pyle (^Memoirs of a Royal Chaplain, p. 76) — "and not one penny to any
good use." In 1754 he gave £100 to the University Library Fund. Hutton
subscribed to Sanderson's Algebra, published 1740.

*Finch, Henry : fourth son of Daniel, Earl of Nottingham : born at Exton, Ruts.
School : Eton, under M'' Newborough. Admitted fellow-commoner "omnibus
felicissimi ingenii dotibus instructissimus," under M' Boldero 19 Aug. 1712.
Age 17.

M.A. 1714. Elder brother of Edward Finch (Hatton), Fellow 1728-46.
Nominated by his father a Fellow on the Finch and Baines foundation 30 Sept.
1713 — before he had taken his degree. He was a candidate for the repre-
sentation of the University in Parliament in December 1720, when he was
defeated by the Hon. Tho. VVilloughby. He succeeded elsewhere before 1736
when (on June 7) the Master, D'' Towers, declared his Fellowship vacant.
Finch appealed and on 19 June 1736 the Master had to report that D'' Adams,
V.C., with his assessors D'' Colbatch and D'' Gooch had reinstated M"' Finch.
The ground as stated in the V.C.'s sentence was that the Master had "amoved
him from his Fellowship without any summons or notice, without his being
first heard and without assigning any cause " (Master's Book of Statutes).
From an account in Adam Wall's mss. (Univ. Lib. Mm v. 48, p. 64) it appears
that Towers ejected him (1) because he was non-resident — he was actually
H.M. Receiver General at Minorca and resided there regularly : (2) because
he was M.P. which implied property more than was permissible to a Fellow.
There was a curious dispute as to the action of the V.C In Finch's appeal
it was stated that he had been ejected "without consent of the Fellows." In
Atherton's copy of the Statutes there is a note to the sentence "these or the
like words were after some debate inserted in the place [after the words
" without assigning any cause "] as they stood in M'' Finch's appeal, and very
solemnly agreed to by the V.C. and both his assessors in Sidney Lodge, but
afterwards were in a fraudulent and clandestine manner struck out by the
V.C. alone [prolsably on the instigation of D'' Towers] and the sentence signed
inadvertently by the senior Doctor as above." They do not appear in the
sentence in the Master's copy of the Statutes, where it was required to be
entered. M"^ Finch despite his non-residence held his Fellowship for 36 years
and resigned it by letter to the Master, D"" Rooke, 7 Oct. 1749.

*Hunt, Daniel : son of Thomas : born at Exton, Ruts. School : Oakham, under
M"- Wright. Admitted sizar under M-- Boldero 19 Aug. 1712. Age 17.

B.A. 171f-; M.A. 1720. Admitted scholar, 3 Nov. 1712. It may be in-
ferred that he was brought up by Henry Finch. Elected Fellow, succeeding
John Chester 2 Feb. 1719. Ordained deacon, Peterborough, 1719 Sept. :
priest, Ely, 1719. In 1720 there came a mandate that Dan. Hunt should enjoy

1712—1713 181

liis Fellowship while acting as chaplain to M' Finch, envoy to Sweden in 1720
(Misc. drawer, Ak). I do not know what M'' Finch this is. Whether in
Sweden or after return to England, M"' Hunt died before Oct. 1723.

At this point there is a gap in the Admissions from Aug. 1712 to Sept.
1714. Five leaves in the book are left blank. The Praelectors were for the first
year, Thomas Husband, for the second Ben. Dowse. Each was in residence
and acted as Steward for the year. The register of matriculations gives the
names of all who were admitted except two, Bellasis and Conder, who were
not matriculated, but appear in the Study-rents only.

he is of age and I doubt not but he will be able to answer for himself; yet I
must confess he may want a month of '23 yeares of age. But give me leave
thus humbly to apologize for him ; some men grow Men very early : some

a Man : and one of sense and discretion." (Letter preserved in the family :

same, he returned to the Lincoln diocese and was instituted to Paxton, Hunts.
4 June 1745.

Hunt, Brian :

Admitted at Corpus 1704 (of Kent). B.A. (Corpus) 1722. Perhaps he is
the Brian Hunt who went out as a minister to Barbados 16 Mar. 17^^
(Fothergill, p. 35) : why he transferred himself to Christ's is not clear : on
8 May 1722 he received £20 bounty as an emigrant minister to Virginia (iS.)

M'' Dowse from Mich. 1719 to Mich. 1723. Possibly he returned to St John's
and was the LL.B. of 1725 : there is no admission which corre.sponds as to date
with that degree. He can hardly be the Laur. Torkington who was rector of
Shottesbrook, Berks., and was buried 172^ {Genealogist, 7. 14).

198 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

*Monoux, Lewis : son of Lewis, armiger : born at Sandy, Beds. School :
Stortford, under D' Tooke. Admitted pensioner under M' Atherton 27 Apr.
1720. Age 16.

B.A. 172f ; M.A. 1727. Admitted scholar 1 June 1720. Son of Lewis
(1666) of Sandy (son of Sir Humphry (1617) first Baronet, of Wotton) by his
wife Lucy, daughter of Sir Philip Wodehouse. Elected Fellow (iu place of
Granville Wheler) 22 Jan. 172i. Ordained deacon, Lincoln, 1728 June:
priest, September. Praelector (and a most careless one — he left out half the
entries), Junior Dean, Catechist, Bunting Preacher and Steward 1728.
Fellowship declared vacant 31 Dec. 1730. Rector of Sandy, Beds. Chaplain
to the Bishop of Llandaff. Had dispensation from Lambeth 21 June 1743 to
hold also the rectory of Tenipsfoixl, distant two miles. Prebendary of Lincoln
(Clifton) 21 Oct. 1755. Married a Miss Edwards of Bedford, by whom he
had a sou Philip (1752), who by a curious history became seventh (and last)
baronet.

Anesley, Mark : son of William, armiger : born at Gallowhill, Northumb''.
School : Morpeth, under M'' Carey. Admitted pensioner under his uncle
M'' Anesley 9 May 1720. Age not given.

Admitted scholar (Ansley) 8 May 1721. Perhaps he shared his uncle's
room : as he does not appear in the Study-rents till Mich. 1722 when he is
found as a fellow-commoner " iu the Star Chamber" — till Mids''. 1723. He ran
through his patrimony: in 1750 "High and Low Gallowhill, Foumertlaw, and
the colliery and limestone quarry on the estate were sold to M'' Cook of
Thockeriugton under a decree of the Court of Chancery for the payment of
the debts of Mark Aynsley Esq., deceased." (Hodgson, Northumberland ll.
1. 343.)

*Mabell, William. : son of John : born at Newcastle. School : Newcastle, under
M"' Lodge. Admitted sizar under M'' Atherton 11 May 1720. Age 17.

B.A. 172|; M.A. 1727. Ordained deacon, Rochester (for Durham), 1725
Dec. Admitted scholar 8 May 1721. Resided till Mich. 1728 : although on
20 Jan. 172 J he received a lease of the tithes of Hapton for seven years with
" additional covenants " (he not being a Fellow) viz. " that he resides upon the
Place and serves the Cure in Person, or that he shall appoint a Curate who
shall be approved by the Ordinary and the College, and that during this terra
lie shall not accept of any Preferment or Cure beyond the distance of 5 miles."
Apparently he had a curate. On 17 Oct. 1727 he was appointed Rhetorick
Lecturer: but there is no evidence that he resided. In 1733 Atherton's
Northumberland fellowship was vacant and on 8 June 1733 Mabell was
elected Fellow, but not admitted till August 9 — an indication that he was not
in residence. He signs only thrice as a Fellow. On 8 May 1735 "the
Master declared M'' Mabell's Fellowship void — he not being a Priest as the
Statutes prescribe." Against this sentence M'' Mabell appealed on May 22 to
D'' Andrew Snape, Provost of King's and Visitor, the Master being Vice-
Chancellor for the year. On 12 Sept. in the same year " M' Thomas
acquainted the Master that he had received a letter from M'' Mabell's brother
informing them that he was dead."

Dalton, D'Arcy : son of D'Arcy, rector of Cold Aston, Yorks. School : Beighton,
Derbs., under M'' Drake. Admitted pensioner under M'' Hutton 7 June 1720.
Age not given.

B.A. 1724. Admitted scholar 8 May 1721, as of Lines.; probably he was
born at Binbrooke of which his father (adm''. 1688) was vicar from 1699 to

1720 199

about 1704. He resided till Lady Day 1726. His younger brother, Charles,
admitted 1730.

Ellyson, Thomas: son of Thomas (rector of Ashton, Cheshire): born at Pul-
fordrain [? Pulford], Cheshire. School not given. Admitted sizar under
IVP Atherton 10 June 1720. Age, about 19.

LL.B. 1725. Admitted scholar (Ellison) 8 May 1721.

*Neville (Nevile), William. : son of Robert, clerk : born at Newton, Bucks.

8 May 1721. Elected Fellow, succeeding Tho. Husband 27 Apr. 1724.
Ordained deacon, Lincoln, 1725 March; also priest. Praelector, Junior
Dean, Walkhampton Preacher, and Steward, 1726. Bunting Preacher 1727.
Knapwell Preacher 1728. Senior Dean 1732. Senior Greek Lecturer and
Mildmay Preacher 1733, 1734. Senior Dean 1736. Taxor in the University
1728. Scrutator 1737. Had a few pupils from 1737. Presented by the
Crown to the vicarage of Astwood, Bucks., on the decease of his father
Robert, by dispensation from Lambeth 8 Aug. 1726 : his succe.ssor was not
appointed till 1752 (Lipscombe, 4. 6): but it is quite clear that he resided
at Cambridge till 12 March 1742 when he resigned his Fellowship. He
was appointed curate of Fen Drayton 2 Jul}' 1733, and held the curacy
till he left Cambridge for Astwood. Cole mentions him as " a large, raw-
boned jolly man who loved good eating and drinking : I think had the living
of Astwood in Bucks, and died a young man, of no very good character": as
Cole is wide of the mark as to his age when he died (if he died in 1752), we
may hope he was also as to his character.

Byam, William : son of William ; born at Antegoa [Antigua]. School : West-
minster, under D'' Friend. Admitted pensioner under M'' Atherton 21 June
1720. Age 17.

B.A. i72f. Admitted scholar (as of Middlesex) 8 May I72L Admitted
at Gray's Inn 20 Aug. 1722 as from " Christ Church," Cambridge. He returned
to Antigua and died there childless. According to Oliver's Histori/ of Antigua
which gives very careful pedigrees there was a second Will. Byam at Christ's
at this time : the sou of Edward Byam and Lydia Martin, brother of Francis
(1726) and half-brother of Edward (1708). He may have been admitted in
one of the missing years, 1717-19, and never matriculated: but I do not
lind him in the Stud3'-rents and I suspect that for once the Historij is wrong.
This Will, was of Byams, Antigua and of Westborne House, Paddington,
Midds. : a Colonel in the army and a Member of the Council of Antigua.
He married Anne, daughter of Col. John Gunthorpe of Antigua : died at
Barbuda 26 Sept. 1755 and was buried at Antigua (Hint. 1. 98). A son
Samuel was fellow-commoner of Sidney 1760.

Carter, Samuel : [father not given] : born at Naseby, Northants. School :
Monkwearmouth, under M"^ Simcoe. Admitted sizar under M'' Atherton 22 June
1720. Age not given.

Admitted scholar 8 May 1721. Resided till Mich. 1723, when he migrated
(I suppose) to Trinity and was there B.A. 172j; M.A. 1730. One Sam.
Carter, "late of Christ's," was ordained deacon, Lincoln, 1734 Dec. and
licensed to Winnington, Beds. : priest 1736 Sept.

200 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

Umfreville, Charles : son of D'' William, clerk : bom in London. School :
Newcastle, under M'' Lodge. Admitted sizar under M'' Atherton 2 July
1720. Age 20.

LL.B. 1726. Admitted scholar (Middlesex) 8 May 1721. Son of Will.
Umfreville, D.D. (16-£§) whom see. Ordained deacon while still an under-
graduate, London, 1723 Sept. : priest 1724 Sept. Licensed to officiate as
curate of Charleton (or elsewhere in the diocese of Rochester) 10 Oct. 1724 :
with stipend of £30. Vicar of Bradfield, Essex. Had dispensation 14 April
1729 to hold also the vicarage of Acton, Suffolk, distant 18 miles. Held it
till 1774, when, I suppose, he died.

Hutchinson, Edward : [father not given] : born at Clipston, Northants.
School not given. Admitted sizar under M'' Atherton 7 July 1720. Age
not given.

Admitted scholar 8 May 1721. Resided till Mich. 1723. Probably father
of Thomas (1755) who was born at Clipston.

Gaines, William Langhome: no facts. Admitted 19 July 1720.

He was a fellow-commoner, pupil of M'' Atherton : and resided till Lady
Day 1722. One of these names was lord of the manor of Hampstead, and
died 1732 {Gent. Mag.).

Clennell, Thomas : [father not given] : of Clennell, Northumberland. School :
Alnwick, under M' Walton. Admitted pensioner under M'' Atherton 1 2 Sept.
1720. Age 19.

Resided till Mids. 1722. Clennel is near Harbottle, which the family
seem to have owned. Perhaps the Tho. Clennell who died at Lilburn,
Northumberland 1763 {Gent. Mag.).

Preston, John : [father not given] : of Yorks. School: Giggleswick. Admitted
sizar under M' Atherton 29 Oct. 1720. Age not given.

1725 Sept. : licensed to Drayton Parslow, Bucks. : piiest 1730 May. Pre-
sented to Bow Brickhill, Bucks. 7 June 1742 in trust for the nephew of the
patron : resigned Oct. 1744.

Barlow, Thomas : son of John, clerk : born at Marwood, Lanes. School not
given. Admitted sizar under M'' Cockshutt 31 Oct. 1720. Age not given.

B.A. 1724. Admitted scholar 8 May 1721. I think that Marwood is a
miscopying by a careless Praelector of Harwood. John Barlow, born at
Harwood near Blackburn and educated at Glasgow was incumbent of Colne,
Lanes. 1709-1727, when he died on April 9 : and his son Thomas was
presented to the living, but survived his father only three weeks : he was
buried at Colne 5 May 1727. (Whitaker, Whalley, 2. 249.) Perhaps he is
the Tho. Barlow who was curate of Radcliffe, Manchester on 25 Nov. 1726.
{Lives of Felloivs and of the College of Manchester, ii. 224.)

Walton, John : [father not given] : of Northumberland. School : Alnwick.
Admitted sizar under M"^ Atherton 1720. Age not given.

Admitted scholar (as of Westmoreland) 8 May 1721. Resided till Mich.
1722.

mell in Furness : educated there by M'' Roskell and at Kendall by M'' Towers.
Admitted sizar at St John's under D' Edmundson 6 Apr. 1720 : aged about 17.

B.A. (St John's) 172^; M.A. (Christ's) 1727; D.D. (Christ'.s) 1749. Or-

1720 201

dained deacon, Lincoln, 1726 June; licensed to St Mary, Retford: priest,
1727 Sept. Elected Fellow, in place of M'' Edwards, 14 Jan. 1721:. Prae-
leetor. Junior Dean and Catechist, Bunting and Walkhampton Preacher, and

Preacher 1737. Was appointed Hebrew Lecturer (not an annual appointment)
14 Nov. 1727. Ceased to sign after May 1730. Presented by the University
to Greystoke, Cumberland 1737 — but owing to a dispute as to the title, not
instituted till 1 June 1739 : in 1739 he left Cambridge. While resident he
took pupils 1729-39, but Cartwright (and afterwards Trant) had many more:
also he was one of the four editors of Stephens' Thesaurus. Resigned his
Fellowship 14 June 1740 and on June 24 married Mary Cliristian of Unerigg.
Rector of Salkeld and Archdeacon of Carlisle 21 Apr. 1743-56. Master of
Peterhouse (by the support of Bp. Keene, later Master) 1756-1787. In 1756,
E. Pyle wrote (Memoirs of a Royal Chaplain, page 280) that Law had "quite
won the heart of the Duke of Newcastle by the last Cambridge Address... and
the Duke has assured him of his Majesty's favour in a very handsome letter
which I have seen... .So D'' Law will be L. Marg. Professor." Such were
the ways of the time. But Prof. D' Newcome had nine years more of it.
Knightbridge Professor 1764-9. Prebendary of Lichfield (Sandiacre) and
Archdeacon of Stafford 1763-69 (collated by Bp. Cornwallis, his old pupil) :
of Lincoln 1764 and of Durham 1767. Bishop of Carlisle 24 Feb. 176|,
retaining the Mastership (he resided at Cambridge in term time and at Rose
Castle in the Long Vacation) — also the rectory of Greystoke but he resigned
everything else. Died at Rose Castle 14 Aug. 1787 : buried in Carlisle
Cathedral (M.L). Of his four sons, John was admitted 1762, afterwards
Fellow, and Bishop of Clonfert and of Elphin. The appreciation of him by
Paley, which is well known, is printed in the Johnian Adiii'^. Book, p. 332, by
R. F. Scott. It dwells on his cheerfulness, gentleness (to a fault when found
in a Bishop), candour and love of liberty. " He was zealously attached to
religious liberty, because he thought that it leads to truth ; but from his heart
he loved peace." He valued his Bishopric chiefly as a proof that in England
"decent freedom of enquiry was not discouraged." A full list of his works is
given by R. F. Scott (supra). His book Considerations of the State of the
World -with regard to the Theory of Religion, published 1745, works out the
view that revelation is progressive — so much being given at each time as men
are able to receive. When a Bishop in 1774 he boldly supported the attempt
to abolish, or relax subscription to the formularies of the church : first started
by Archdeacon. Blackburne, two years earlier : Law both preached at St
Mary's "a noble sermon," and also published a pamphlet Considerations on
the Propriety of requiring subscription to Articles of Faith, which gave rise to
some controversy. His last publication was his edition of John Locke's works
in three volumes. (Baker-Mayor, Hist, of St John's: D.N.B. : St John's
Admission Book (ut supra).)

Wadesworth, Charles:

B.A. 1724 ; M.A. (Clare where he was a Fellow) 1728. Admitted (Wads-
worth) at St John's 29 Nov. 1720, aged 19, son of Nat. Wadsworth, clerk,

Kirk Smeaton, with a stipend of £30 a year. Rector of Sizeland, Norfolk

1767. His son, Geo. Rob. Wadsworth, admitted at Caius 174|. (See Scott,
Johnian Aihn". Book, p. 336.)

202 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

Dowthwaite, Joseph :

Appears in the Scholars' Book 8 May 1721, as admitted a Westmoreland
scholar. He is not in the College Admission book, nor (so far as I have seen)
in the University Matriculation-register. He appears in Study-rents from
Mich. 1720 to Mich. 1723, but may not have resided all the time. He was
ordained as "literatus e Coll. Xt' " at York, deacon 1721 June; priest 172.3
June. Rector of Feliskirk near Thirsk 27 Apr. 1739 — sent by the Arch-
bishop : seems to have held it till 1765. A family of tiie name at Westholme,

Preacher 1740. Licensed to Great Eversdeu 18 Sept. 1732. Vicar of Little
Abington 6 Apr. 1736 : but resigned before June 1737. Vicar of Foxton
7 Mar. 173|-. Had a lease of Hapton tithes for three years, Mich. 1739.
Rector of Hadstock, Essex, 1740. Proctor 1741-2. From 1742 to 1744 he
signs rarely and perhaps resided at Hadstock. On 1 March 174i D'' Towers
the Master died, and Rooke was elected his successor : each was a Whig ; but
the tirst was quite free from self-seeking : the College was prevailingly Whig
in the first half of the century : the election of D'' Thomas in 17.54 marks the
turn of the tide. D"" Rooke was V.C 174-5-6. As such he presented the address
to the King on the suppression of the Jacobite rebellion, including " the ad-
mirable conduct and heroick bravery " of the Duke of Cumberland. He was
"one of the most managing persons among the Heads" (Cole). He had sup-
ported the Duke of Newcastle in the contest for the High Stewardship in 1737 :
and supported him again when he succeeded the Duke of Somerset in 1748 as
Chancellor of the University. He wrote one of the official poems on the death
of George I and accession of George II. On 30 April 1747 he had a dispensa-
tion from Lambeth to hold the rectory of Great Horkesley (near Colchester)
as well as Hadstock, distant 25 miles. On 1 June 1749 he became Prebendary
of Lincoln: and on 23 Nov. 1751 Prebendary of Bristol, on the presentation
of Lord Chancellor Hardwick " to whose brother he had offered an Honorary
Fellowship " (1 but so Cole). He spent much money on the Lodge, into which
lodgers were no longer received, as in the days of Cudworth and Cove), and
(to a less degree) of Towers. Even Cole allowed that " he fitted up the Lodge
in elegant and good taste " : he persuaded the Fellows to let him have the old
" Parlour " to be (as it has ever since been) the Master's dining room. He
never married. He died, suddenly, in College 7 Feb. 1754, aged 51 : and was
buried at Hadstock. He incurred the special hatred of Cole, whose description
of him as " universally disesteemed by all sorts of people and all sorts of
parties" is vigorous : "he had the usual concomitants of hautine.ss, meanness
and servility to an expi-essible degree, being the most abject slave and fawning
sycophant that I ever saw," " from his tirst admission an abject and servile
ilatter of young noblemen and fellow commoners." Cole's account probably
needs to be discounted : the last part may mean little more than that his
pupils were drawn from this class. But it is probable that he was " unamiable
and of rough manners" (Welch, Al. Westinonasterienses). He was cei'tainly
unpopular in the L^niversity : for the numerous attacks on him in the
Capitade and in other pamphlets, see my History of Christ's College, and
Wordsworth, Univ. Life in the ISth Century. When V.C. he proposed to the
Senate to employ the surplus of money raised to suppress the rebellion of 1745
for some purpose which the Senate rejected, and (according to Cole) rejected
all other graces during his term of office. For the Orders and Regulations
for the government of the University .sent down by the Chancellor in 1750,
at the instigation as was supposed of D'' Rooke, D"' Keene of Peterhouse, and
D'' Chapman (admitted here 1734, afterwards Master of Magdalene), and for
the tumult caused by them see Wordsworth, ih. 64-77. Though unwisely con-
ceived they must be regarded as an attempt at reform which was really needed.
Rooke should also be credited with the introduction of " examinations " —
probably slight enough, and soon becoming a dead letter^which occur first in
the orders made in his Mastership : probably he brought the idea from Trinity
where Bentley had introduced them. According to E. Pyle {Memoirs of a
Royal Chaplain, p. 158) — a well-informed man — D'' Rooke made so much
interest for the Divinity Professorship, vacant 1748 that Green of St John's
who was actually elected could not promise enough without " making interest
above to get a promise made to Rook that pleased him as well as the
Professorship, for which he is not fit."

Ordained deacon, Ely, 1730 Aug. : priest, Lincoln, 1731 June. Praelector, Junior
Dean, Catechist, Bunting and Walkhampton Preacher, and Steward 1733.
Knapwell preacher 1735. Senior Dean 1740. Senior Greek Lecturer and
Mildmay Preacher 1741 and 1742. University Taxor 1736-7. Scrutator
1743-4. Took pupils from 1738-45, together with M' Makin : but the whole
number was not great. In 1740 had a lease of the Manor and rectory of
Gateley, which he held till 1750. During 1745 and 1746 he signs irregularly :
in October 1747 for the last time : in that year he was presented by the
Chapter of Southwell to the vicarage of RoUeston, Notts, but not instituted
till 20 Sept. 1749 : by College Order 28 July 1749 he was to hold Gateley as
well as Rolleston if the Bishop consented : apparently the Bishop did not :
Thomas resigned Gateley the next year. On 30 Sept. 1748 he became Arch-
deacon of Nottingham, and Prebendar}' of Southwell 29 June 1749. On
30 Oct. 1749 he resigned his Fellowship having had "a full j'ear's possession
of the Archdeaconry." He held a Prebend at York from Dec. 1749 to July
1750. In 1750 he became Chancellor of York, and rector of Wheldrake,
Yorks. (worth £140) : he was chaplain to the Archbishop, and liad dispensa-
tion 23 Nov. 1751 to hold also the rectory of Etton, distant 16 miles, worth
£130. When D' Rooke died suddenly Thomas was recalled to Cambridge to
be Master of the College : and held the Mastership from 18 Feb. 175| for
26 years. In 1754 he was Vice-Chancellor : and was again elected in 1777
when he was more than 70 years old : he declined to serve on the ground of
health, and was excused by grace from payment of a mulct of £100. On
2 Dec. his successor was appointed. He became Dean of Ely 15 July 1758,
and is genei-ally referred to for the next 22 years as " Dean Thomas." I think
that he held all these preferments, but one, till his death in 1780 : even Cole,
who liked both the man and his politics (opposed to the Whiggery of his two

1724—1725 209

predecessors) thought it remarkable: "he Hves snugly and handsomely ami
has provided monej' for a growing family." Cole says that he declined the
Bishopric of Carlisle in 1769 when Edm. Law of Christ's was appointed —
Gray, writing to Mason 29 Dec. 1768, says that he had been appointed: a
further story that Law persuaded Thomas to refuse it, in order that he might
have it himself, seems to rest on the constant statement of M'* Thomas :
Cole (who did not love Law) does not seem to have believed it : and says
that the Archbishop Cornwallis (also of Christ's) recommended both. He
married (1) Miss Metcalfe, daughter of the rector of Toft: she was buried
there 17 June 17.54 — and two children in 1756 and 1758 ; (2) Miss Grigson
of Pembrokeshire. He died at the Lodge, rather suddenly, 11 July 1780 —
and was buried privately in the centre of the ante-chapel, in the evening, six
Fellows bearing the pall (Cole). In Cole's words, he was " always esteemed a
very worthy man " : and he clearly was popular with all men. He certainly
did not encourage reform in the College : but acquiesced in it when urged by
the young Fellows, Will. Paley and John Law.

210 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

M.A. (com. rey.) 1728: why, I cannot understand: unless interest was
made in liis favour in view of the following matter. Early in 1729 M' Simp-
son's fellowship was declared vacant, the Master and five Fellows wished to
elect Alderson : there being no majority the appointment went to the Visitor,
who on 8 Feb. 172f appointed John Jebb formerly of St John's (whom see).
On 5 Feb. Alderson petitioned the Visitor, while his decision was still pend-
ing, on the ground that Jebb had no "natural claim.' (He had migrated as
a B.A. from St John's before the end of 1728, doubtless on the motion of some
of the Fellows in order to keep Alderson out of a Fellow.ship.) He com-
plained that he had been injured in the estimation of the Society by divers
slanderous reports. His petition was supported by the Master, by Cartwright
(his tutor) and by Wilkinson, Harwell, Neville and Trant : the opponents
must have been Atherton, Raye, Sitwell, Chamberlayne, Monoux, Edm. Law
and G. H. Rooke. As above mentioned Jebb was appointed by the Visitor,
Frankland, V.C., with Bentley and Ashton as assessors. It is odd that Neville,
under whom Jebb had been entered, supported Alderson. Still more odd is
the fact that Alderson never took the ordinary B.A. degree but was admitted
M.A. in 1728 (as mentioned above), half a year before the election, though
neither by birth nor by merit could he have any claim to it. In the Study-
rents he appears as late as Sept. 1731 as a pupil of Cartwright. Alderson
purged his character to the Society, for in 1731 when Wilkinson died, he was
elected Fellow 17 Nov. 1731 and was admitted 26 Nov., a fact which implies
that he was not in residence. In 1732 he resided. In 173| (10 July) he was
instituted vicar of Burgh Wallis, near Doncaster : which he held till his death,
1754 : he was buried there, Dec. 20. (Hunter, S. Forks. 2. 486.)

way for twenty years. His activity was endless : like Wesley he preached out-
side his own parish in Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire and Derbyshire : at
home he got the Haworth races abolished, drove his parishioners to church (with

early in l745 he volunteered for work in America. On 2 April 1745 he
received the £20 bounty as an "emigrant minister" in connexion with the
S.P.G. to take charge of the churches in New Jersey : possibly he revisited
England and returned to America, as one Tho. Thompson has bounty 20 July
1748 (Fothergill, 58, 59). His Fellowship was declared vacant 21 Apr. 1746.
He applied from America to the S.P.G. to be appointed by them the (ap-
pai-ently first) missionary to Africa. " Somebody must be the first one," he
said, and " God only knows how long it may be before any other person will
take the same resolution." He was appointed 15 Feb. 1751, and sailing from
New York reached James Fort on the river Gambia 9 Jan. 1752, thence to
Cape Coast Castle on the Gold Coast, where he worked for five years among
Europeans and natives. His Account of two missionary voyages was published
in 1758. He sent home three native boys to be trained by the S.P.G. : two
were baptised 7 Jan. 1759 at St Mary's Islington : one of these, Philip
Quague, son of a native chief, returned 1766 and worked for 50 years among
the natives and as chaplain to the English residents. In 1756 his health
gave way and he returned to England : apparently he was poor, for he received
"by consent of the Fellows" £10. 10.b\ Qd. On 26 Aug. 1757 he became

: vicar of Reculver, Kent. A year later the Dean and Chapter of Rochester
presented him to the vicarage of Darenth : which he resigned 5 July 1759
on his appointment by the same patrons to the vicarage of Hoo St Werburgh,
19 July. In November 1761 he became vicar of Elsham, or Elham, and held
it till his death 5 June 1773. He was also near the close of his life the
author of The A/rican Trade for Negro Shwes shewn to be C07isistent with the
Principles of Humanity and with the Laws of Revealed Religion, 1772: in
which " without considering the subject very deeply, he draws his arguments

ship. He married a daughter of Sir Hen. Goodrick of Ribstone — but I have
not found the date. In 1744 became vicar of Aldborough, Yorks., which he
resigned on his appointment to the rectory of Stokesley in Cleveland 1750-91.

216 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

Preferment came thick upon him. He was Chaplain to Archbishop Hutton ;
and on 21 June 1745 he became prebendary of Hereford ; on 1 Dec. 1749 pre-
bendary of York (and Chancellor for one year when he made way for Hugh
Thomas): on 13 Aug. 1750, dean of the Collegiate Church of Ripon— all
which appointments he held till his death. Despite of these he fell into
money difficulties, and retired for a time to the Continent. On his return he
found the deanery occupied by a residentiary Canon, who declined to make
way for him. Accordingly he took a house in Kirkgate, Ripon, and lived
there assisted with money by friends : and there he died 9 July 1791, his life
having not been shortened by his troubles. (See Canon Raine, " Marske " in
Yorks. Arch. Journal, 6. 200, also Arch. Juliana, 5. 17.)

1749 he had a lease of the tithes of Hapton, where he may have resided
as henceforward he signs irregularly. On 12 July 1751, on the death of
John Boldero, he succeeded to the rectory of Clipston : and his Fellowship
was declared vacant, as he had been instituted "more than a year," 14 Nov.
1752 — certainly he had no ground for complaint. I infer that while a Fellow
he had not congenial company in the Society (which was prevailingly Whig)
while he was probably a Tory, if he be the " Robin " whose sufferings are

218 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

described in the Capitade (1750) under the rule over the College by " Gobrias "
(D' Rooke).

In whose dark Realms nor Wit nor Learning spread
Nor Merit sprouts, nor Honour rears her Head :
Where midst a general Pravity of Spirit
Poor Robin only suifers — for his Merit.

(See Wordsworth, University Life in the \?>th Century, 627.) Hankinson

Nov. 1771.

remained till 1761 : this was the last presentation made by the Society, as in
1762 the advowson of Ringstead was exchanged for that of Brisley, because of
the contiguity of the latter to Gateley which could be conveniently held with
it. The golf and other attractions of Hunstanton (150 years later) could not
be foreseen.

Senior Dean in 1748 seems incompatible with permanent non-residence. Pre-

shutt was dead at Kegworth, it was agreed to piesent in the usual way M''
Wigley and M"' Willey to the Earl of Berkeley that he might select one in the
usual way. But it appears from a memorandum in the Order Book, that this
presentation was not made, as "an instrument found in the Treasury " declared
that the College might present absolutely in case the heir of Sir Maurice
Berkeley was then absent from England or was a minor. Accordingly on
27 Jan 1761 M'' Wigley was presented by the College to Kegworth. But
during his year of Grace (between 7 July and 1 Sept.) he died before his

17 Dec. 1750—1783, perhaps through his connexion with the Barnstons whose
family house was near Coppenhall. He died on 30 April and was buried at
Condover 5 May 1783. His eldest son Richard (1763) was born there 17 Api-.
1744 — and his wife, Hannah, was buried 12 Nov. 1778 : to whom her husband
wrote indifferent Latin verses in the parish register. He was a humorist :

I

1731_1739 225

" he always entered in the register the name of the father of an illegitimate
child : apparently this had led to difficulties, for after 1757 he leaves a blank
space for the name or fills it up with initials : in one case he has drawn a fox-
in the margin : as Fox is a common name in this neighbourhood, his meaning
is plain " (Rev. T. Auden, vicar of Condover).

BuUivant, Daniel : son of John : born in Leicestershire. School : Oakham,
under M'' Adcock. Admitted pensioner under M'' Philpot 19 Jan. 173?.

*Comwallis, Frederick : seventh son of Charles, Baron Cornwallis : born in

9 Feb. 173J. Age 19.

B.A. 173| ; b.D. 1748. Kept "in the Master's over the parler." In Dec.
1735 he appears as " M'' Cornwallis." Had a stroke of palsy before he took the
B.A. degree, and wrote ever after with his left hand. Elected Fellow 28 Jan.
173i : by all the eleven Fellows present though he had not been present and
examined: see Joh. Peverell (1731). D' Towers refused to admit him on the
ground that being a peer's son he was not eligible under the statute on the
qualit}^ of Fellows. Cornwallis appealed to the V.C., D'' Richardson, who on
24 April 1738, with D"' Hacket and D'' Conyers Middleton as assessors, required
the Master to admit him — which he did in a form of words concocted for
the occasion, on 25 April. Cole considered that D'' Towers behaved very badly
because Cornwallis was "one of the most amiable men I have ever known "
(see the Master's Book of Statutes, p. 95) : the pleadings are in the " Visitor's
Drawer" in the Treasury. He must have been ordained deacon in 1739 at
latest, for in that year he was Praelector, Junior Dean and Catechist, Bunting
and Walkhampton Preacher, and Steward. He became rector of Chelmondiston,
Suff., while still deacon, in 1740. In 1742 Oct. he was ordained priest, Norwich,
and was instituted (Oct. 4) to Tivetshall, Norfolk. He held no office after
Oct. 1740 and seems to have resided irregularly. On 4 Nov. 1743 the Master
declared his Fellowship vacant : and so at last got rid of the peer's son.
Cornwallis had rapid preferment: in 1746 he became Canon of Windsor:
Prebendary of Lincoln 14 Jan. 174i : on 18 Jan. 174-;} the King in Council
nominated him to the Bishopric of Lichfield (consecrated 19 Feb.) : Dean of
St Paul's 1766 : elected Archbishop of Canterbury 23 Aug. 1768, enthroned
6 October. In 1 759 he married Caro ine, daughter of the Hon. Will. Townsend :

C. C. R II. 15

226 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

and had a son Will, who was M.P. for Eye {Gent. Mag. 180i, p. 1167): Ri.
Watson {Anecdotes, p. 70) said of him that he " was so wife-ridden, I have no
opinion of his politics." The chief thing recorded of his tenure of office (except
the repression of the liberal schemes of Porteus, Bishop of London) is his
abolition of the custom that the chaplains should dine at a separate table. This
suits the description given of him in Hasted's Canterbury, 2. 513, that "he
was not deeply learned [he published a few sermons between 1751 and 1762] :
had a purity and benevolence of heart which joined to the affability and
courtesy of his manners gained him the respect and love of everyone." He
died 19 Mar. 1783 after a few days' illness and was buried in Lambeth Church :
M.I. (D.N.B.) He gave to the College a handsome gilt cup and cover. In
1754 he gave £100 to the University Library Fund. An engraving of his
portrait by Dance is in the Combination Room.

Fellow " (Finch and Baines) in place of Edw. Finch who had at last resigned

16 Sept. 1746 : admitted 24 Sept. Tutor at Gunton in the house of Sir Will.
Harbord, before 1752. Elected Lady Marg'. Fellow succeeding Laur. Bailey

17 June 1769. He had a lease of the tithes of Hapton 1 Oct. 1769, succeed-
ing M' Willey. On 16 Apr. 1773 his Fellowship was declared vacant, and he
was succeeded by Tho. Parkinson, probably a kinsman. Probably became
rector of Aldborough, Norfolk 1747 (Bloniefield, 4. 281). He was certainly
rector of Gunton, a neighbouring parish 1774 on the presentation of Sir
Charles Sanders: and there he died 1800 in his 85th year. (Gent. Mag.
p. 699.)

Benison, Thomas : son of John : born at Bolton [Lanes.]. School : Lancaster.
Admitted sizar under M'' Trant 27 May 1732. Age 19.

B.A. 173|. Admitted scholar (Lanes.) 29 June 1734. Probably head-

lived and died at Rushden. See Berry's Herts. Genealogies, 190. Ordained
deacon, Lincoln, 1736 Sept.: licensed to Ickleford, Herts.: priest 1738 Sept. He
resided till Dec. 1740. Chaplain to Vise'. Faulkland. Instituted to Ickleford
and Pirton 24 Nov. 1748, which he held till his death : but I think that he
was also headmaster of Darlington School 1750-5 (Carlisle, 1. 400) : though
he sent no boys thence to Christ's. Had dispensation from Lambeth 5 Oct.
1754 to hold the vicarage of Rickmansworth, distant 25 miles from Ickleford:
this seems to have brought him southward again. He died 8 Jan. 1758. On
12 April 1758 an order was made to pay his widow ten guineas : no reason is
given.

B.A. 173i; ; M.A. 1740. Admitted scholar (Finch and Baines) 29 June
1734 : he was also Hawford and Mildmay exhibitioner. Perhaps a son of
Will. Withers (1692), rector of Thrybergh, Yorks. 1723-49. Elected Fellow

Thompson resigned it : but this he resigned before April 1746. He was
vicar of Bodley, Beds, possibly when he left Cambridge and also rector of
Tankersley, Yorks., W.R. 1752-1771 (Hunter, ,S'. Yorks. 2. 304). Died 1771,

Warren, Langhorn :

M.A. 1739. Son of Robert (1697), D.D. and rector of Charlton. Matric''. at
Brasenose, Oxford 11 Apr. 1728, aged 17. B.A. (Oxford) 1735 : incorporated

p. 1197).

228 CHRIST'S COLLEGE

Hutton, Matthew : son of Matthew, armiger : born in London. School : Bun-
tingford. Admitted fellow-commoner under M'' Rooke 4 Jan. 173|. Age 16.
Probably the Matt. Hutton son of Matthew, late of Newnham, Herts.
who was admitted at Lincoln's Lni 25 Oct. 1732. Resided till Mich. 1736.

Strode, William : son of George : born at Dyttishani, Devon. School : Totnes.
Admitted fellow-commoner under M'' Rooke 4 April 1733. Age 22.

His name is down for two quarters, till Mich. 1733 but without any charge :
so it is doubtful whether he ever resided : the College has a silver coffee-pot
either gi\en by him, or purchased out of his " Plate-Caution. " Probably a
member of the family of Strode of Xewnham Park, Devon : but I cannot
trace him. One Lieut.-Gen. William Strode, Colonel of G2nd battalion of
foot, died at Gerrard Street, Soho 1776 {Gent. Mag. p. 47).

Verney, Ralph : second son of [Ralpii] Viscount Fermanagh. [No more facts.]
Admitted fellow-commoner under 5l' Law 20 April 1733. Age not given:
and no payment mentioned. M.A. 1736. Resided first under M' Law, then
under M'' Wigley : he is charged for rooms during eight years till Mids''. 1741 :
but after Dec. 1737 the charge sinks from £\ to 3s. a quarter: and perhaps
meant only chance residence. Admitted at the Middle Temple 16 June 1729.
Son of Ralph, second Viscount Fermanagh and first Earl Verney : whom he suc-
ceeded as second Earl Verney : his elder brother died while he was still at
Cambridge, and he succeeded his father in 1752. M.P. for Wendover 1754 —
the seat for which by his influence Edmund Burke was first returned to
Parliament: for Carmarthen 1761 : for Bucks. 1768, 1775, 1780, and (after a
defeat with ruinous e.xpense in 1784) again in 1790 nine months before his
death. His expenditure on elections was equalled b}' his e,x:penditure on his
house at Claydon where in a simpler but most magnificent style he proposed
to rival the splendour of the Temples' house at Stowe. Burke thought that
his services to the Whig party were insufficiently rewarded, and gives him the
character of an exceptionally "indulgent, humane and moderate landlord,"
and a "protector to all the poor within his reach." But his extravagance
ruined his large fortune : and during the latter years of his life he lived much
at Calais. Soon after his final return to Parliament in 1790, the bailiff's were
in possession of Claydon, and the furniture was seized and sold. His countess
(Mary Herring, to whom he was married for 50 years) died suddenly 20 Jan.
1791 — and two months later, on March 31, he died at his house in Curzou
Street, aged about 78. (D.N.B. : Lipscombe, Bucks. 1. 179.)

resigned in 1750). He signs last in the Order Book 25 Oct. 1746 and early in
Jan. 174y he was appointed Master of Magdalene — though only 31 and there-
fore ineligible by Statute — by the management of D'' Rooke, says Cole, to
whom he also attributes Chapman's " marriage to a fortune " and King's
chaplainship : his Fellowship was declared vacant 6 Feb. 174^ "his }'ear of
grace after having accepted the Mastership having expired the 9th of last
month." Vice-Chancellor 174S-9 : and as such took part together with
D'' Edm. Keene, V.C. 1749-51, in the preparation of the very drastic regula-
tions (passed June 1750) for the revival of discipline in the University, for
which the wits of the day held D'' Rooke of Christ's ("George Crow" or
"D'Rock"), Chapman ("Tom Forward"), Keene ("Mun" and "Acutus")
responsible together with the new Chancellor, Thomas Pelham, Duke of
Newcastle, installed 1 July 1749 ("Tom Standish, a sprightly volative
fellow") : for a list of the sufficiently amusing publications on the subject see
Cooper, Annals, 4. 280, and Wordsworth, Univ. Life, 617-32 : the University is
described as a sick old lady, and the Heads as her sons, of whom Tom and
Mun are specially active in befooling her : D'' Rock is charged with having
given her very injurious pills (the regulations). Like Rooke and Keene
Chapman came in for much hard hitting in these pamphlets, e.g. " Tom
Forward has to a grain the same quantity of truth and honour as his brother.
Sharp [Keene] : but in other respects he differs much from him. Tom is very
pert and positive, and sometimes very rude and boisterous. 'Tis for this
reason, I believe, that the inhabitants of Bridgetown have nicknamed him
Bounce." (See Cole.) Chapman became by the patronage of the Crown
rector of Kirkby-o\er-Blow, Yorks. 8 Dec. 1749. He was collated to the

presented to it. Also vicar of Lakenheath 1 Jan. 1780—84. Died before
6 July 1784 when Edw. Wilson was presented. Murhall was instituted to
Moulton by the Archbishop 6 July 1772 it being "in the peculiar and imme-
diate jurisdiction of the Cathedral of Canterbury." Cole has a note that
Murhall's " presentation to a better living after having served the Churcli
living at Caldecot has occasioned some disputes between the Master and
Fellows." The dispute (see my History of Christ's, p. 256) was on the old
question whether a Fellow should be presented (as he legally might under
certain circumstances) to a living without vacating his Fellowship. See
under Joshua Wigley (p. 245) who desired both. Murhall was content with
Moulton.

It is remarkable that out of a year of only eight men, five should be elected
to Fellowships : viz. Willey, Dix, Meachem, Swainson and Murhall.
